Brave New World Analysis

In the novel, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, Huxley includes allusion, ethos, and pathos to mock the wrongdoings of the people which causes physical and mental destruction in the society as a whole. The things that happened in the 1930’s plays a big contribution to the things that go on in the novel. The real world can never be looked at as a perfect place because that isn't possible. In this novel, Huxley informs us on how real life situations look in his eyes in a nonfictional world filled with immoral humans with infantile minds and a sexual based religion.

In Brave New World Aldous Huxley, creates a dystopian society which is scientifically advance in order to make life orderly, easy, and free of trouble. This society is controlled by a World State who is not question. In this world life is manufactured and everyone is created with a purpose, never having the choice of free will. Huxley use of irony and tone bewilders readers by creating a world with puritanical social norms, which lacks love, privacy and were a false sense of happiness is instituted, making life meaningless and controlled.

Aldous Huxley has a humanistic, deep and enlightened view of how society should be, and of what constitutes true happiness. In his novel, Brave New World, he shows his ideas in a very obscure manner. Huxley presents his ideas in a satirical fashion. This sarcastic style of writing helped Huxley show his views in a very captivating and insightful manner. The entire novel describes a dystopia in which intimate relationships, the ability to choose one's destiny, and the importance of family are strictly opposed. In Huxley's mind, however, these three principles are highly regarded as necessary for a meaningful and fulfilling existence.

Reading Brave New World written by Aldous Huxley, readers are led to a dystopia in which the World State takes control over everything including reproduction, consumption and the most important of all‐conditioning. Although Lenina and Linda are not the main characters that bring the story to its climax, they play significant roles in the story as they represent the people being affected by the World State conditioning.

Having been a somewhat of an outsider in his life, physically and mentally, Aldous Huxley used what others thought as his oddities to create complex works. His large stature and creative individuality is expressed in the characters of his novel, Brave New World. In crafting such characters as Lenina, John, Linda, Bernard, and Helmholtz, not to mention the entire world he created in the text itself, Huxley incorporated some of his humanities into those of his characters. Contrastly, he removed the same humanities from the society as a whole to seem perfect. This, the essence and value of being human, is the great meaning of Brave New World. The presence and lack of human nature in the novel exemplifies the words of literary theorist Edward Said: “Exile is strangely compelling to think about but terrible to experience. It is the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted.” Huxley’s characters reflect the “rift” in their jarred reaction to new environments and lifestyles, as well as the remnant of individuality various characters maintain in a brave new world.

“It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity” (Albert Einstein). Although the future remains difficult to predict, some ideas develop the undeniable fate of society. Throughout Brave New World, Aldous Huxley explains predictions for the future of society. The story begins by introducing Bernard Marx and his discovery of John, and his mother Linda on the reservation. This unfolds into John realizing the degree to which society has stripped their humanity. The emotionless society that Huxley displays depicts the nearing future of society. Although the future will introduce many useful tools for society, the damage done to society and personality is inevitable. Huxley’s predictions about the future focus mainly on the dealing with suffering, questioning true freedom, and perversion of spirituality.

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World contains many extremes, from not having viviparous reproduction to having lots of sex and taking lots of drug to not having any literature and to revolving everything around Ford. The controllers in Brave New World control the people of the society by exploiting Freud’s studies of the subconscious mind. Freud believed that through hypnosis one could go into one’s subconscious and recover a memory that was hidden from the conscious mind. In Brave New World the controllers of the society use Freud’s idea of accessing the subconscious while people are under hypnosis. Instead of retrieving lost memories, they implant phrases, truths that must be believed on the deepest level possible: the subconscious.

In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley crafts a false utopia that is maintained and enforced through strict conditioning, which shapes the psyche of characters in the civilized world such as Lenina; this conditioning–evident through repetition and conflicting values between the characters and the readers–illustrates Huxley's theme: the messages and values one learns as a youth become the unshakable foundation of one's identity.

In the novel, “Brave New World”, many works of literature deal with political or social

Throughout the novel of Brave New World, Aldous Huxley tries to create a futuristic, Utopian society in which to warn the dangers of scientific progress. Huxley creates a type of world in which people are being controlled and developed by science. Huxley uses Henry Ford’s principle of mass production and happens to apply it to biology. While still creating his own World Statem Huxley differentiates the roles of men and women, in where men are powerful figures and women are only sex objects.

Aldous Huxley’s world accredited and celebrated masterpiece Brave New World’s futuristic world is just as horrifying as it is compelling. Nevertheless, it can be interpreted in many ways. Some of its audiences are infatuated by the technological and scientific advancements exhibited by the World State, some are mesmerised by the mere thought of a world free from sickness, torture and poverty, while others just see a fictional tale that is worth a good read. However I myself, think nothing of this. In a world plagued by unavoidable suffering – inequality, deprivation and mistreatment – my mind is filled with scepticism over how fictional this Brave New World really is. Of particular note, I am truly distressed and disturbed to know that Huxley’s interpretation of the “perfect world” is functioned through a totalitarian system of government which applauds and endorses a class system.

In society there are those who conform without question and there are those who don’t stand to their own beliefs. In Brave New World written by Aldous Huxley, he is able to portray characters in the World State society like Lenina who are able to conform to society, but does not question inwardly since she is able to forget about it when taking a narcotic drug called soma. Huxley is also able to portray a character Bernard Marx who is able to conform to society while questioning inwardly about the society he lives in. Bernard Marx is able to question what's going on around him,and he does experience tension after he brings news to the World state about that the Director’s ex lover and child. After the Director is removed from his position of the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre, Bernard begins to gain respect from others around the World State yet he then abandons his own beliefs of questioning the society of the World States and he begins

The story begins in the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Center, with a tour lead by the Director and Henry Foster. They teach the boys how they produce thousands of identical embryos, in the factory-type building, that contains thirty-four floors. Each embryo is assigned a social caste (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, or epsilon) before it is even born. In the nursery, the Director explains and shows them that they teach infants about all of the castes while they sleep. Later on in the story, Lenina Crowne talks to her friend in the bathroom about her dating Bernard. The story switches to Bernard’s point of view, and he’s getting upset about Henry Foster talking about “having” Lenina. Bernard later takes Lenina to an Indian reservation,

At the beginning of Sandra Cisneros series of vignettes The House on Mango Street, the main character, Esperanza, is unhappy and feels as though she is unable to express herself. She does not have many friends, and she yearns for, “one I can tell my secrets to. One who will understand my jokes without having to explain them. Until then I am a red balloon, a balloon tied to an anchor”(Cisneros 9). Esperanza wants to be understood by the people around her, instead of having to repeatedly explain herself. Esperanza is upset by the fact she does not have someone who listens to her share her jokes, feelings, and secrets. Esperanza refers to herself as a balloon. Balloons have potential to rise up and grow; however, Esperanza feels that her inability to express herself is keeping her from being freed from an anchor holding her down. She is tied down from achieving high levels of happiness. Just as Esperanza struggles with achieving happiness, characters in Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, also struggle with understanding happiness. The society in Brave New World, values citizen’s content with their respective roles; therefore, the society biologically conditions the citizens to appreciate their roles and they instil the society’s values in the citizens through hypnopedia. When Bernard, a character who is often opposed to society’s values, expresses his struggle with society to Lenina, a character who identifies with the society’s values, she disagrees and is uncomfortable with

In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, he portrays the future as an isolated society, based off of stability and rigid order in order to avoid conflict and ensure continuous happiness. The citizens’ naive willingness to comply with a society that promises them eternal contentment is an attitude that has been conditioned in them since birth, in a manner in which our society may consider as cruel or unusual. After John, the Savage, an outsider of this society, comes to realize the truth behind the manipulation used to ensure the uniformity, he challenges the authorities and the system in its entirety. It is quite evident to him that this society is one built off of artificial emotions and insincerity. In this paper, I will highlight the different ways in which the Controller, Mustafa Mond, attempts to control the society, as well as prove why John’s criticisms of the society holds strong against Mond’s unbacked defensive claims.
