Dystopia In Brave New World

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley depicts a future world that has mechanized and removed all sense of life to being human. In this world, people work for the common good of the community and are conditioned to dislike what, today, we would consider common and healthy relationships with people and environments. The story follows a man, John, not born into the culture and his struggle with the unfamiliarity with the “Brave New World”. Published in 1932, Brave New World often leaves roots back to the world Aldous was in when he was writing the novel. I believe the genius of Huxley’s writing was his ability to effectively select the traits of 1930’s society that would later become a staple for Americanism in the coming century and, in time, allowing for a relatable story to the modern day while giving us warning to the future.

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.

It is the opposite of utopia which is an imaginary place in which the government, laws and social conditions are perfect. A dystopia is significant in novels because it warns the readers that there is a problem that can be solved in the future, just like the society we live in today. Brave New World can be considered dystopia also because many aspects of the novel are contributors in making it have an imperfect society. The World State can also not be considered a dystopia because some people and some things are considered “perfect”. An example of this is when Huxley says, “The world’s stable now. People are happy; they get what they want, and they never want what they can't get… and if anything goes wrong, they have soma” (Huxley). The world is stable because all of the people in the World State are conditioned to be identical. All people are happy due to the drug soma. No matter what issues arise, the people are enslaved to the drug and rely on it for personal happiness. This is shown as a utopia because if there is a problem in the world state, it can be fixed with soma. And after they take soma everything is perfect again. It's like an easy way out. The dystopian setting in Brave New World is brought about by technology and by higher authorities. As technology increases, the use for human beings in work force

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’s repeated phrase and title “Brave New World” represents the climax of an unprincipled society in which technological advances changes the lives of many.

Different societies have risen and fallen in the continual search for the “perfect” society. The definition of this utopia is in constant flux due to changing times and cultural values. Many works of literature have been written describing a utopian society and the steps needed to achieve it. However, there are those with a more cynical or more realistic view of society that comment on current and future trends. These individuals look at the problems in society and show how to solve them with the use of control and power. Such a society is considered undesirable and has become known as dystopian society.

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.

In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley introduces the dystopia of a society created on the principle of social stability at all costs. Huxley wrote this book in 1932 hoping to warn future generations of what he feared might happen if society did not do something to stop the inevitable. The leaders of our society today hope for and work towards social stability without taking away primitive rights. Social stability can only be achieved by a society whose beliefs in social and ethical issues are never challenged. So even though modern society hopes for social stability, it is not a practical aspiration because it is obvious that some of the social and ethical

Brave New World takes place in a futuristic society that has a date system entirely based off Henry Ford. Huxley intentionally distorted the setting of Brave New World so distance was created between his audience and the reader. This distance allows the reader to cast judgment upon the society without instantly realizing that he is actually judging himself. Had Huxley not painted a futuristic society, he wouldn’t have been able to get away with as much criticism because it would be a direct insult to the reader.

The book is a dystopian novel that expresses the natural processes of birth, aging, and death representing horrors in this world. Bernard Marx, a high-caste psychologist, emerges as the single discontented person in a world where material comfort and physical pleasure — provided by the drug soma and recreational sex — are the only concerns. We are often taken back by the condition seen in the Brave New World. Although our society does not go to the extremes of the World state, it seems certain that we are a product of certain things of conditioning.

Here are a few reasons brave new world is a dystopia, a utopia, and how it relates to America. ​ Brave new world could be considered a utopia. In brave new world there is no wars. There is no reason to have wars because everyone is content with everything because they are all on soma.

However, I disagree with that statement. While certain aspects could have minor comparisons to this far off dystopia. Our world is so vastly different in comparison, and I highly doubt our society would turn into the lifeless and dull world that Brave New World takes place in. There are a plethora of reasons that our society and theirs; But for this writing, I will only be focusing on arguably the most important aspect, Science.

Dystopian novels have become more common over the last century; each ranging from one extreme society to the next. A dystopia, “A futuristic, imagined universe in which oppressive societal control and the illusion of a perfect society are maintained through corporate, bureaucratic, technological, moral, or totalitarian control,”[1] through an exaggerated worst-case scenario, criticizes about current trends, societal norms, or political systems. The society in Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is divided in a caste system, in which humans are not individuals, do not have the opportunity to be individuals, and never experience true happiness. These characteristics of the reading point towards a well-structured
