A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Have you ever wondered what human nature would be like if everybody looked and sounded the same?

Aldous Huxley is best known for his novel Brave New World, which depicts a post-industrial revolution utopia. Huxley greatly feared the ramifications to an industrialized world run by consumer capitalism, which is displayed in Brave New World. The government within the novel focuses solely on the bettering of technology and not scientific exploration and experimentation. The society’s values lie in instant gratification and constant happiness. The utopia is maintained through the means of drugs, conditioning, and deindividuation – which Huxley argues is the key to any successful utopia.

“If one’s different, one’s bound to be lonely”(Huxley 90), stated the savage John in Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley . In this novel, the government banned all kinds of human truth like friendship, love, books, and any emotions. The citizen cannot know the truth, because if they found out the truth, they will not trust science and the government. The citizens are fed with lies in order for the government to keep them happy and distracted from the truth, but it’s not real happiness. The Resident world controller Mustapha Mond says happiness is more important, when actually the truth is; the citizens are brainwashed with lies and told to take soma. In this essay we’ll be discussing about the isolation and compatibility of truth vs. happiness.

One of the admirable strengths to this novel is how relevant the subject matter is to the time period. Another strength would be how Huxley utilizes a third person omniscient point of view. Although Aldous Huxley is immensely descriptive in his novel, his descriptions go too in depth at times. As a result, all the unnecessary imagery makes it difficult to follow along with the events occurring in The World State. Overall, Brave New World a preeminent work of literature. Huxley illustrates a future full of spurious happiness to show readers how individuality is taken for

The world full of so many colors, but they are affected by the same nasty, not glossy finish. The book Brave New World by Alexander Huxley was an image of what the future holds. A picture that showed that society will be soon be taken over and forced to serve a ruling order. Huxley had many themes in the book Brave New World, to make us imagine what the world can become. One of his most poignant themes, that he used was the dangers of an all-powerful government, by using languages such as allusions and motifs.

Brave New World, a fictional novel written by Adolus Huxley, is a story that criticizes society and the social stereotypes that humanity faces. Although this novel is fictional, it does hold a merit of truth and meaning that reflects our society today. The issues addressed include love, oppression, reliance on drugs, and ignorance. Some of the topics that Adolus Huxley covers is that people will come to love their oppression and take pleasure in the technologies that undo their capacity to think, that truth will be drowned in ignorance, and that people will become a trivial culture preoccupied around things like feelies. Huxley fears that our society will be taken over by the reliance on technologies, and by the rise of ignorance

The main conflict in Brave New World is individuality versus social stability. The notion of Brave New World is that one must give up their individuality and fulfill their role in the society for the greater good which is social stability. The totalitarian government in the novel controls every aspect of the id, superego, and ego. Aldous Huxley distinguishes each of his characters from the other to portray the different levels of individuality they display. Through the psychoanalytical perspective, it is interpreted that the “World State” dominated the characters throughout the novel. However, Bernard and John Savage show the readers the individuality aspect of the society

The novel, A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, in my opinion is not the most important piece of dystopian literature from the twentieth century. While my belief that this novel is unworthy of being known as one of the top five dystopian novels of the 20th century is partially based on the fact that I very much so disagree with his writing style and opinions, it is also based on facts found in his writing. Huxley's writing style is incoherent and waits to properly explain items or events, while his characters are immature and negative. The twentieth century also spawned various dystopian based novels such as fahrenheit 451, 1984, and the giver which I believe are far better than A Brave New World. The following paragraphs will expand on the

It is scary when you don’t know anybody and have to try to make new friends. Many of your young childhood friends will stay with you for a lifetime. Today, I am still friends with many of my oldest friends. They have become like family. I want to say that this novel is a great way for people to see how somebody from a diverse population lives. It is a great book from the view of somebody living a completely different life than I have lived. I think it was very well written and is easy to read. This makes it a great teaching tool for children of younger age groups or college students as well. I read this entire book at one sitting because it kept my interest the entire time. I couldn’t wait to see what

In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, people in the book show lack of emotion,feelings,interest or concern especially regarding matters of general importance or appeal wishing we had lack of apathy, my prediction is that people will no longer have strong emotions about anything important.They will become apathetic about most issues.We are convinced that one individual doesn’t matter. We can’t really make a difference in anything we believe in. That’s one of the reasons why people have started to lose interest in many aspects of their lives because they can’t do anything to change that. However,this only applies to a certain part of the population. To be honest in my opinion I personally think most of our generation thanks to social media

In the world of sex, drugs, and baby cloning you are going to be in many situations where you feel like the world we live in should be different. In the story Brave New World, they had sex with multiple partners along with a very bad use of drugs.

“And that," put in the Director sententiously, "that is the secret of happiness and virtue — liking what you 've got to do. All conditioning aims at that: making people like their unescapable social destiny.”

In Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World,” there is a forceful religious connotation. Huxley’s uses of biblical allusions emphasize the inborn necessity of spiritual belief, in even the most neutral society. By assimilating religious references into the population, specific characters, and science, he successfully illustrates the absolute need for the religion in any society

In the book Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, the character John the Savage is brought from his homeland of Malpais to London. When he arrives he finds that this world is very different from his own. Saddened and angered by the injustice of the society, he attempts to isolate himself from the world. John the Savage’s experience of being exiled from Malpais was enriching in that it showed him the true nature of the Other Place and alienating in that he was separated from his culture and not able to integrate into the new one. This illuminates the meaning of the work in that it shows the negative side of the “utopian” society.

Usually in high school or even in real world events, if one doesn’t fall into the social norms of their peers, they become socially excluded from social events. In most cases, people in high school could agree with this statement. If one doesn’t dress the way people dress, socialize the way they do, and even act the way their peers do, not only would they be excluded from any social life but they would also feel very lonely. In the story Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, one could compare Bernard Marx to the lonely kid at school who feels isolated and criticized by his peers. Bernard 's physique and high level of status makes him feel so out of place and insecure. On Pg.67, Huxley describes him in a way that gives us an insight on how
