- Both these characters are the personification of the antagonist, which is the ruling regime. Although we hear about this regime, these two are the only ones we meet as readers.

-O'Brien and Beatty are both the heads of a specific department and are higher ranked than the protagonists (their bosses). However, O'Brien is more powerful and less dispensable, seeing as he succeeds in manipulating Winston, whereas Beatty is killed off.

-They are also aware that Winston and Montag are rebelling but instead of turning them in immediately, decide to warn them and pretend to be on their side.

The book is riddled with metaphors everywhere.
Ministry of truth, ministry of love, etc. were all metaphors as they were opposite of what the names suggested.

Both books were written in the third person perspective. This was done to separate the reader's viewpoint from being inside the setting of the book to being an observer which would mean that the reader can see different characters viewpoints.

While in 1984 the whole book was an allusion, in 451 only book titles or events were alluded to through speech. There was no allusion in terms of the setting of the scene.

1984-Orwell was very aware of the power of language, so the government of the future invents "Newspeak". Using the device of a fictional language, the author is able to point out that language can be misused to mislead people.

In 451- They don't bother with Language and what it means.They don't use it to control people.

O'Brien plays a dual role in Winston's life, his confidant and his worst enemy. He plays the former part well enough to gain Winston's trust and take advantage of this relationship. Faber is only Montag's mentor who later sacrifices his life to save him. Faber himself is a rebel who reads and teaches Montag. Although O'Brien pretends to do the same with Winston, it's all just a ruse to manipulate him

Julia rebels because she is not content with her life, by doing so, she encourages Winston to take greater risks while Mildred betrays Winston to the authorities because she is satisfied and wants to preserve her life of comfort.

# data[].attributes.body
The main antagonist of 1984, O'Brien is part of the Party and captures Winston with Julia at the apartment above Mr.Charrington's store. Like Beatty, he is important in Winston's life but is expandable as they are not as important in the Party's eyes. O'Brien tortures and manipulates Winston in Part 3 of the book, and eventually makes Winston turn in and love Big Brother again.

# data[].attributes.body
The antagonist of 451, Captain Beatty is the leader of that particular fire department and an important part of Montag's life. He is well educated as he has read books before in the past. Like O'Brien, he knows that Montag is rebelling and doesn't turn in him. Instead, he convinces Montag to read the book he stole and come back with the book to burn.

- Winston's job requires him to get rid of knowledge as well as cover it up my making up knowledge. Whereas Montag only burns books.

- Montag succeeds in his rebellion by killing C. Beatty and escaping, whereas Winston is captured by O'Brien and reeducated into a 'good' citizen

- Montag is quite content with his life in the beginning, he goes on not questioning his job or society, whereas we meet Winston at a stage in his life where he wants to rebel.

# data[].attributes.body
The main protagonist of 451, Montag works for the fire department which is equivalent to the Ministry of Truth where Winston works. Montag burns the books to prevent people from asking questions and creating inequality. The burning of books was done so that everyone was equal and did not ask questions. Like Winston, he is also unhappy and begins to ask questions.

# data[].attributes.body
Whereas in 1984 there were no groups mentioned that acted together to rebel against the regime (as The Brotherhood could have very possibly been fabricated by the party to let the people have a common enemy), in 451 there was the group of scholars who rebelled. This was possible in 451 as the govt. did not pay as much attention to the village areas and thus didn't monitor those people.

# data[].attributes.body
The main protagonist, Winston seeks to question The Party's power. He is rebellious, and along with Julia. He begin rebelling after seeing Julia at Hate Week, along with seeing the happy prole woman on the streets singing. He rebels by asking questions, and writes in the diary. He writes 'Down with Big Brother' in the diary and hides it from the telescreen so that he doesn't get caught. He works at the Ministry of Truth where he alters history, and throws books into the Hole,where they burn them.

1984 has social class in terms of Inner Party, Outer Party and Proles. 451 had no social class system and everyone was the same because of the fact they burnt books. Burning books created no arguements between people

# data[].attributes.body
1984 used technology for surveillance and 451 used it for distraction

# data[].attributes.body
Whereas in 1984 people are directly monitored, in 451 people are never directly monitored. In the book it is never mentioned whether or not the tvs can monitor people or not. Also it seemed like the firefighters only came to burn books when someone calls them to inform them. On the other hand in 1984 the surveillance is extremely open and known.

# data[].attributes.body
Both 1984 and 451 have societies that are in a post war state and both are the author's depictions of a possibility for the future as both ocieties are in the future

# data[].attributes.body
In 1984 war was used to distract people and make them not focus on what was going on in the society. Whereas in 451 the government used various means such as giving the people too many other things to do and think about to distract them from the war.

# data[].attributes.body
In both 1984 and 451, citizens are afraid to speak out but one character finally gains courage and decides to act out.

Montag- learns to take action while Faber is too cowardly to act.

Winston- joins the Brotherhood as an act of rebellion as compared to Julia who does not really care about changing the society and the regime's power, her only concern is her 'Pleasure'

# data[].attributes.body
Censorship in 1984 involved the act of altering history, and the use of telescreens. An example of the telescreens is when Winston tried to dim the telescreen but couldn't turn it off completely (1.1.3???) In 451, they were burning books to prevent the people from gaining knowledge and asking questions. When Montag burns the old woman along with the house full of books, the lady also recites a line from The Tempest.
