Dystopia is a literary theme. This approach is the opposite of the utopia that poets and writers longed to achieve. Dystopia literature broadly portraits the destructive consequences of political, social and industrial clashes. In other words, this type of literary genre mirrors the dark side of the society which is replete with misery and agony. Since novels are born out of societal events, the matter of dystopia is more widely reflected in a novel than other literary genres.
