Brave New World Friendship Analysis

Both Lenina and Linda engage in promiscuous activity. Lenina has been conditioned to think that it is natural to be in a polygamous relationship, and having one partner is considered to be abnormal. In fact, it is Fanny who says “it’s such horribly bad form to go on and on like this with one man” (Huxley 36) and encourages Lenina to act more promiscuous. On the Savage Reserves, Linda has indiscriminate sexual affairs with the husbands of other women living in the Reserves. Linda allows Popé, her lover at the Savage Reserves, to use her to satisfy his sexual desires. For these two women, engaging in frivolous acts is considered normal because of the conditioning they were subjected to in their environments. Both women allow men to

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

In the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, relationships are portrayed as insignificant and trivial. No one cares about their partners because everyone belongs to everyone. Compared to global society and American society, there are so many differences between them all. Over the course of the years the similarities between the American society and the Brave New World society are unrealistic.

Laprade 10 Brave New World Versus Today?s Society Brave New World is a shocking story that tells of a utopian society placed hundreds of years in the future. It challenges the human race as a whole to see if it can overcome the sudden sweep of vast improvements in science and technology, and if humans can learn how to use their inventions with dignity and respectfully on mankind. In Brave New World, Huxley does not try to accurately describe what the future will hold, rather he predicts a future in which humans have succumb to the awe of science and the power that comes with it.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley touches on important issues regarding the dynamics of social interactions and the effects of attempted control of these relationships. Harsh ridicule is seen of those who deviate from the cultural and societal norms. This concept is seen with both Bernard from “civilized London” and with John from the Savage Reservation. Though they were clearly raised in two very different worlds, the ways they deviate from the crowd are surprisingly similar. In London, propensity to consume is placed at higher value than curiosity and other desires to further one’s education. This is demonstrated by the statement, “You can’t consume much if you sit still and read books (50).” In this sense, those who are more interested in reading and discovering new information are seen as odd and considered of lesser value to society than those who spend their time

Linda used to be a part of the Brave New World society, but she became impregnated by the Director and left in the Reservation as the mother of John. From that point onward, she lost all the perks of her old society and has become lonely and soma free. When Lenina first met Linda, she was horrified and thought, “ The creature burst out in a torrent of speech, rushed at her with outstretched arms and -Ford! it was too revolting, in another moment she'd be sick…” (Huxley 119). Linda is disgusting to others because people in her previous society ordinarily exercise and use the advanced technology to keep themselves young, pretty, and healthy, whereas Linda has not been able to obtain such technology in the Reserve. After years in the Reservation,

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is a very graphic novel that exemplifies the problems of modern society with a fictional setting that dates far into the future. However, the one feeling that Huxley describes most is the feeling of complete loneliness, even when surrounded by the very materialistic desires that were created for complete joy. This story revolves around one character in particular that portrays the theme of self loathing loneliness the most, and that is John “the Savage”.

Lenina, a young and desirable female who works at the Hatchery catches the attention of John. The two of them end up having an attraction for one another but they both come to realize they had contrasting beliefs and values on sex and love. John admired Lenina and so did she in return but John wanted something more than just someone to sleep with. “Listen Lenina, in Malpais people get married.” (BNW Pg.191) Lenina thought it was a horrible idea to talk about marriage because it defies her culture’s convention. Lenina is taught that “everyone is for everyone” and not to be with one person. When Lenina tried to come on to John by taking off her clothes and reaching for him to make a sexual advantage, he grabbed her wrists and thrust her roughly yelling

Secondly, the theme of friendship is displayed in A Separate Peace when Gene’s love-hate relationship with Phineas is affected after he sees Phineas in the hospital. The realization of Phineas’s true feelings of their friendship comes to light when he refuses to accuse or put any blame on Gene for his disability resulting in Gene’s guilt, admitting he, “thought we were competitors.” (Knowles 63). When Gene visits Phineas back in their hometown during their break, he gets on a, “familiar friendly level” feeling like, “pals trading stories”(Knowles 65). The use of an anaphora is implemented when Gene’s guilty conscious begins to affect him and his struggle to admit he pushed Phineas off the tree becomes distressing as he believes, “it wouldn’t

While at the bathroom, Lenina is talking to Fanny Crowne who says she feels “out of sorts”. In order to remove this feeling, Fanny takes a drug that gives the same hormonal effect as being pregnant. While doing so, Fanny encourages Lenina to find another person to date and be more sexually open because she has been with Henry for four months. Being with one single person for a certain amount of time is against the flow of society in terms of normal sexuality. Lenina then mentions that she was invited to visit a Savage Reservation by hypnopaedia specialist, Bernard Max.
