Abstract

Forced adoption and orphanisation have frequently been depicted in various works of dystopian fiction: usually they underscore the corrupt nature of a revolutionary or totalitarian regime. Civil and political rights violations (torture, slavery, deprivation of liberty, or loss of life) are often the key plot points, but the absence of family life rights may lead to the most emotive scenes or resonate deeply with readers.
