A Utopia Gone Astray By Aldous Huxley

The next day as I walk through the school doors, I see Hunter glaring at me. Remembering what my mom said, I continue walking to class. I go to my first two periods and I read the book Utopia by Thomas Moore through both my classes. When the lunch bell rings, I jump up from my seat and head to the cafeteria where I sit down at my usual table alone. I start eating my peanut butter and jelly sandwich as Hunter and a bunch of his friends enter the cafeteria. I freeze in fear and I start to become enraged. My hands start to shake and my face turns bright red with anger. Without thinking about it, I stand up towering over Hunter. Hunter’s friends begin to laugh at my idiotic decision. I become even more enraged as I hold my hands up in front

In his novel, “Brave New World,” Aldous Huxley portrays a society in which the government has full control. At the time of the books writing America was striving for this status quo of complacent pleasantry, censorship was an issue, and things that were extreme or painful were being removed. As man has progressed through the years, societies have tried to arrive at a utopian society, where everyone is happy, disease is nonexistent, and strife, anger, or sadness are unheard of. Only happiness exists. But after reading Aldous Huxley's “Brave New World,” one comes to realize that this is not, in fact, what the human being really longs for. Huxley’s intended audience seems to be people that have the vision of a perfect society. He wrote the book as a dark satire. It's meant to mock (in a serious manner) the concept of a perfect society being possible. Huxley successfully made the point that there is more to life than stability and complacent happiness by utilizing a number of rhetorical strategies.

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.

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

Humans live their day-to-day life searching for something that makes them truly happy. What if someone were to tell you that what you thought was true happiness was all an illusion. In a Brave New World by Aldous Huxley people in the world state are conditioned and drugged up by soma to not experience true happiness.

As man has progressed through the ages, there has been, essentially, one purpose. That purpose is to arrive at a utopian society, where everyone is happy, disease is nonexistent, and strife, anger, or sadness is unheard of. Only happiness exists. But when confronted with Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, we come to realize that this is not, in fact, what the human soul really craves. In fact, Utopian societies are much worse than those of today. In a utopian society, the individual, who among others composes the society, is lost in the melting pot of semblance and world of uninterest. The theme of Huxley's Brave New World is community, identity, and stability. Each of these three themes represents what a Brave New World society needs

Women and men are different in many aspects from today, than in Brave New World. Some things that happen occur today, and others are unethical and do not. The author shows that men and women are classified as being the same, but have certain rules and boundaries. For example, having feelings for someone you’re sexually active with is bad, when we all know, today women and men normally gain feelings regardless. As far as having sex goes they don’t affiliate that with reproducing. They just do it like it’s a sport or their favorite past time. And they reproduce human beings by using what they call the Bokanvosky Process. Woman weren’t presented in the positive way that they should be.

Imagine living in a society where every single person acts and behaves the same. Do you think it’s possible? In the novel Brave New World, Aldous Huxley tells of a society where everyone is the same but, compared to today’s society, everything is different. Huxley tells of a world where everything that happens or takes place is because of one’s own desire and nothing more. The hero in the novel, a “savage” named John, is Huxley’s main focal point. It is through his eyes and mind that the reader sees what’s going on. Now when I read this novel, I began to think, “Could this perfect, conformed world actually exist”?

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

The History during 1931 and how much things changed during the period over time, 83 years ago. How humans are getting cloned for having diseases, how women were having sex with so many men without them being known as tramps, how people walk the earth with no regrets but now people live and regret.

A dystopia is an imaginary, imperfect place where those who dwell are faced with terrible circumstances. The novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley illustrates the concept of a dystopia. A utopia is an ideal place where everything is perfect, but in the novel, it becomes apparent that the author is trying to demonstrate the negative effects on a society when it attempts to become an unreachable utopian society. Brave New World is seen as a dystopia for many reasons, as citizens are deprived of freedom, programmed to be emotionless and under the control of a corrupt dictatorship. These points illustrate the irony of a society’s attempt to reach utopia by opposing ethics and morality; citizens are tragically distanced from paradise,

In a “utopia” where all inhabitants are made to be the same, Aldous Huxley shares the events of a man named Bernard Marx. His many differences cause him to feel like an outsider and he soon becomes exiled from his “home”. Aldous Huxley illustrates this series of events through; vivid imagery, extensive use of symbolism, and frequent examples of metaphorical interpretations.

The concept of a utopia and dystopia is fascinating because they exist in both stories and real life and can be either based on a person’s ideals or perspective. A utopia is a situation in which the perfect ideals of a person or society are created or maintained. This situation can be real or imaginary as long as the person believes that they are equally happy. In contrast, a dystopia is a state in which an environment is extremely unfair and unjust, typically caused by oppression and dictatorship. In the book 1984, the citizens believe that they are living in a utopia because of the brainwashing of the party. The truth of this society is that the people are oppressed so much that an illusion of a utopia is created. In actuality, this society is deprived of their privacy, freedom of thought and information. Winston is the only person to realize that the society he lives in is a dystopia. He frequently points out the psychological manipulation, totalitarianism and the control of history and language. In comparison, the characteristics of the society in 1984 closely resemble the dystopian characteristics of Jonestown. For one thing the citizens of both societies believe that they are living in a utopia following a tyrant. Another characteristic both societies have in common is the brainwashing of its citizens to obey their leader through the means of propaganda. There is only the illusion of a utopia in 1984 and Jonestown, thus the reality of the situation is that a utopia is

Throughout the novel, Brave New World, events, the features of the dystopian life are illustrated. The world Aldous Huxley creates in it seems to be scientifically-graded, controlled, comfortable and stable and the characters and their psychological analysis help in portraying its motto, but these perfect characteristics lead to the ideal dystopian society instead.

Aldous Huxley’s novel, Brave New World, displays a dystopia ridden with people lacking individuality as a result of massive and extreme modernization. Certainly, industrialization changed the face of our world, and not just by increasing production. The effects of modernization stretch past physical characteristics; they are seeded in the morals, attitudes, and behaviors of our society. Aldous Huxley saw massive operation taking root in twentieth-century culture and feared for the future. Huxley’s use of satire expresses his prediction for society: that replacing family values and emotions with mass production will deteriorate humanity, and modern research shows this prediction to be alarmingly accurate.
