Brave New World By Aldous Huxley

When readers read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, they are taken the World State, a dystopian society where the citizens are attracted to material goods, immediate happiness, and drugs that distract themselves from reality. Do Readers begin to wonder if the society we live in today become a dystopian society? While comparing societies, we begin to realize that our society is almost identical to the World State. Our societies are very similar, but we will never become a dystopian society like the World State, for we are not controlled by material goods, immediate happiness and drugs, we are controlled by our emotions.

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 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

Aldous Huxley is the author of Brave New World and several different literary works. He was born into an aristocratic family in an English county called Surrey in 1894. Huxley probably received the best education a young writer could’ve gotten in England, attending Oxford University. In 1963, he died at the age of 69 in Los Angeles, California.

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.

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

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

Linda maintains this belief after she goes to the savage reservation. She has sex with anyone she wants and can’t understand what she has done wrong. These behaviors can’t be accepted by the savage citizens. They think that having sex should be based on love and marriage, and that people should show loyalty to their mates. Because of their different viewpoints, women came to abuse her, which not only hurt Linda’s feelings but also change people’s views of John. This condition results in John’s isolation and influences his viewpoint about sex. Even though John tries to focus on reading skills in order to prove his manhood, the foundational difference of the two cultures can’t be changed, so that John can’t gain the acceptance he wants from savage reservation. His isolation illustrates the conflict between two opposite cultures.

Lenina agrees, but is suspicious as Bernard doesn’t like to consume Soma and take part in recreational sex like she does. When they arrive, they meet a woman named Linda, and her boy John, who we’ll refer to as ‘The Savage’ from now on. While Linda and her son may not have lived the best life on the reservation, Linda taught her boy to read. (This is important, as the Savage references Old World culture and ideas throughout the book). When they get back to London, John admits to Lenina that he has fallen in love for her. Unfortunately, Lenina can’t even grasp what love is, and strips naked. Now the Savage wants something with meaning, so he hits Lenina and leaves. Later Linda, the Savage’s mother, is on her death bed due to taking so much Soma. After an emotional rollercoaster, Linda dies, and the Savage goes crazy and starts throwing boxes of Soma out the window. The police come, and bring the Savage and Bernard to an authority figure named Mustapha Mond. Mond send Bernard to Iceland, where things are a bit more ‘old

Everyone wants everyone to be happy. It is the general mindset philosophy of society today to wish no ill-will or troubles toward anyone, including themselves. Many dream of a world in which everyone gets along, where there are no wars or famine or sorrow. What happens if those dreams become a reality, though? What does a world in which there is no ill-will or conflict look like? Thankfully, Aldous Huxley has crafted a world in which all of these dreams are a reality. Not so thankfully, this sought-after world is not as wondrous and illustrious as it may seem. A world in which citizens are given drugs handily and sexual encounters are arranged in earshot of any who so desires to is a world without substance and deeper meaning. The truth of the matter is that when people depend on drugs to keep them happy, as well as enough attractions and bountiful food to keep everyone entertained and sated, humans as a species lose what makes them so special: growth and development in the face of conflict. Without hunger, suffering, and hate or emotion in general, then we lose meaning not only as a people but as a species. In a time of abundance and excessive consumerism, deep and philosophical thinking begin to be considered unnecessary; faith and religion therefore become irrelevant. While initially appearing as a utopia of sorts, a society in which excessive consumerism & over

The need for power and control is the main focus of every government in this world. The novels 1984 and Brave New World show the us how power can go to the leaders heads. The theme of social class is always a main factor and it also determines the future of the people we read about in the novels. Both countries in the novels are ran a certain way, one by fear and the other by love. The technology of both worlds are incredible and decide the future of the citizens in the societies. The theme of everything stays the same but only the names change is the biggest similarity between both 1984 and Brave New World and history itself.

As the story goes on, Bernard and Lenina visit the reservation. At the reservation, when John first introduced himself to them, Lenina was in love with John’s body, thinking things such as “really beautiful body” (pg. 78). Since all she thinks about sleeping with the next person, John was on her next-to-do list. Because his mother, Linda, was from the “outside”, he did not want a sex base relationship. It happens that John’s up-bring was consider abnormal because he was actually born to a mother and have been exposed to events like marriage which such events are considered taboo in this society.

In a dystopian version of the future, Winston tries to escape the shackles within him brought upon by the Party and the constant fear of the Thought Police. Even in the darkness that is casted by the totalitarian government, George Orwell continues to encompass life and possibility for a better future in the novel. After being taken into Room 101, the flaws of the Party are shown thus giving light to a brighter future. In George Orwell’s, 1984, the glimpse of pure humanity is shown through the characters of proles, singing woman, and the fall of Winston to envision a safer, sustainable future which can only be meet by the means of a governmental take over.
