Examples Of Promiscuity In Brave New World

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.

Huxley used parody in order to address the human impulses in regards to relationships. Humans have natural impulses of sexual activity, impulses controlled by the morals within today’s society. Many of the people within today’s society hold the common belief that every relationship should resemble monogamy. In Brave New World, the authorities believed that the restraint of these impulses created social instability. Therefore, they decided to control people’s relationships, discouraging monogamy and, instead, encouraged the people to sleep with whoever they want, as “everyone belongs to everyone else”. The act of sex is influenced by a system of social rewards for promiscuity and lack of commitment. This allows them to act

Drugs, promiscuous sex, birth control, and total happiness are the core values of the World State in the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. In today’s society things like drug use and reckless sex are often seen as taboo, but in World State, these activities are glorified and even considered normal. Aldous Huxley attempts to address to readers the harsh realities and cruel ways of our society in an exaggerated form. His purpose in doing so is to open the eyes of society to what the world might come to if things like technology and humanity get out of hand. In the World State, the motto that people are conditioned to live by is “Community, Identity, and Stability”, all three of which are ironically twisted to encourage members of the society

In the book A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, an English writer, novelist, and philosopher, a phrase is seen repeatedly throughout the story, “Every one belongs to everyone else.” The purposeful disconnection of intimate relations: mother, father, sister, brother, husband, wife, etc., is seen as an unrealistic concept in the dystopia because the idea of actually have an emotional connection creates a bond and power is not the reality, but being one and the same is the goal. The idea of no emotionally connected relationships creates a sense of insecurity because people naturally are incline to make relationships to find their own individuality through others. When individuality is taken away it leaves people reading the story searching for any kind of relationship to relate to, and leads to a deeper self realization about society’s pressure to fit in and be like the rest but to be an individual as well, which is unrealistic because everyone is their own individual

In the novel, Brave New World the government has an interesting way of ruling its citizens as they destroys all historical events and experiences such as love, friendships, freedom reproduction, way of learning and other personal interconnections as the world controller Mustapha Mond says, “you all remember, I suppose, that beautiful and inspiring saying of Our Ford’s: History is Bunk” (Huxley 34). The World State treats all its citizens as children by giving them quick satisfaction when contradicting their responsibility. The director gives every citizen a specific social function before they are created and put into one of the five castes which forces the citizens to use a drug like soma repeatedly and to be interested in strong sexual desires,

What you need is a gramme of soma." (Huxley Chpt.4). That wasn't all, sex is something that is given to them as a mean to escape the reality of pain. Even in our society today sex is something we see on tv,read about in book and hear within our music. Brave New World took it to the extreme to the point that they believe “everyone belongs to everyone else”( Huxley Chpt.3 ) People are encouraged to seek as many partner as they want and if you are not doing this you're going against the society orders.

In the novel, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley portrays the political and scientific values of the government through the way the totalitarian government runs England in the 1930’s. Huxley uses symbolism, imagery, and negative connotation to define the theme of identity loss, brain washing, and controlled society. The theme is shown through each character and the experiences they face throughout the novel. In Brave New World the government is overbearing and very scientifically advanced. They are involved in each aspect of the characters’ lives’, and Huxley uses many unique incidents to explain how and why they do the things they do with their power. The government controlled people through drugs, science, and by telling the them how they should feel and associate with one another. Which meant no they did not form relationships.

At the very beginning of the novel sex is shown to play an important role in the new society because kids are playing sex games in bushes. This should immediately evoke a sense of bewilderment by the reader because sex amongst children is looked down upon by normal society. Throughout the entire novel sex occurs quite often, but love is never correlated with the intimacy. The characters simply choose who they want to be with and then act upon the person without putting forth much effort at all. Having sex with others and not loving the person is something that is normally looked down upon in normal society, so Huxley obviously intended to have a large impact on the readers. To further his exploitation of taboo subjects, Huxley makes the New World a society in which drugs known as Soma are used to fix any problem that may occur. Whenever something that seems like it might be the least bit problematic arises, Soma is taken to ease them of any tension. This eliminates any problem solving and rids of the overall satisfaction from overcoming difficulties. But problems seldom occur to inhabitants of the New World, and Huxley wanted to make drugs commonplace in Brave New World. So, Soma is also taken during most instances of sex which increases the drastic impact on the reader. All of Huxley’s exaggerations of the New World is meant to make the reader think about his own society and think about the path

Such a comment underscores Huxley’s differing impression [in regards to politics] to that of the majority, suggesting a political motivation to his novel and foreshadowing the plethora of conflicting views that exist today. In like manner and in the words of author, lecturer and critic Leon R. Kass, Brave New World predicts “all contemporary societies” as “travelling briskly in the same utopian direction”. A statement as bold and almost agathokakological (‘bitter-sweet’) as such, better represented by the idiom ‘double-edged sword’ strikingly highlights that there has been no notable action against increasing state supremacy in 52 years (1949-2001). Like Winston are we destined for this utopian disaster? Or as ill-fated as John the Savage? Both novels comparatively demonstrate characters enforcing compliance, experiencing love and engaging in sex – all as acts of rebellion – whilst maintaining their didactic-ness, warning future societies against the ineffable power of government control and artificial

Brave New World took the power away from women by making promiscuity a normalcy in society. Huxley harmed the women in the society of both worlds by making them mere objects in the grand scheme of promiscuity sex culture. By taking the ideology to an extreme Huxley concerned people that the advancements of promiscuity would diminish the concept of love and passion and that sex would take over the entertainment society in a way that was revolutionary in a generally negative connotation. The promiscuity of Brave New World harmed women by warning society of the possibilities of giving women too much power through sex and turning the idea of promiscuity into a normalcy and thus taking all the power away from

Moreover, just like in Brave New World, our world is transitioning into a time where there is a new inverted distinction between the public and private spheres of our lives. In Huxley’s story, all relationships are open, “[e]very one works for everyone else (…) we can’t do without anyone (…) everyone belongs to everyone else” and everyone know everyone’s business. It is normal to talk about sexual relationships as shame in the form we know it does not exist, and it is normal to share partners as jealousy and envy are not part of being ‘human’. People that engage in monogamous behaviour, or even those that simply desire to be alone, to have this privacy, are shunned and punished by being sent away to places away from big cities and away from the ‘public eye’.

In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley uses diction and specific details in order to convey a theme of a corrupt, brainwashed society that reflects the community during the era of the 1930s. During the 1930s, people were beginning to be taught to do what is “needed” in order to have a happy life. The individuals in Huxley’s Brave New World are “conditioned” to do the same thing. Whether these actions include using drugs, being sexually active, or providing a predestined life for each individual.

Aldous Huxley believed the world to be in a moral decline, that eventually, he predicted, would result in the dystopian world he wrote about: An irreversible world in which morals are dictated by the controllers not out of reasoning. Seen in the passage above, the government controls the rights and wrongs of mere infants through loud noises and electric shock therapy. Right and wrong no longer comes from religion or learning, but stems from state conditioning such as brain washing and sleep teaching. From these lessons, children learn to embrace ideas that, previously, had been seen as immoral and immodest acts of sin. Lust is condoned to the point where “everyone belongs to every one else.” (Huxley Ch. 7). Sex, as was stated previously, is

Imagine having to be a child playing sexually with one another instead of being normal and playing with your toys or running outside in the playground. Aldous Huxley was a British writer considered by many as a visionary thinker who published a novel on Brave New World in 1952 right after World War I which impacted the world economy financially and emotionally. Brave new world takes place in London A.F. 632 nearly 600 years into the future. A.F. which is an abbreviated for After Ford, the name of the great industrialist who invented the assembly line and the mass production. Huxley’s purpose of his novel focused on defending a kind on how humanism scientific progression would hurt man kind. The novel brakes into the delineate of what a
