Figurative Language In Brave New World

Adolf Hitler once said, “The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time…until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.” The motif of governmental control manipulates the individuals in Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Society within Brave New World is conditioned to follow specific guidelines and to possess the same beliefs. The bureaucracy dominates the population of the New World socially, mentally, and physically. The motif of executive authority and domination assists in establishing characters, mood and atmosphere, and the additional theme of using technology to manipulate characters.

In the novel Brave New World, Aldous Huxley creates a scenario where the government has control over the people and their ideas. Throughout the novel, we are shown the different methods and techniques the leaders utilize to control the lives of the people. After reading the story, we can point out similarities of government control from our world and the book. Huxley has a message for us about government power and what it could do to us.

Throughout the novel of Brave New World the author Aldous Huxley utilises satire in order to address and criticise political systems such as communism, through human conditioning and the Bokanovsky process. The novel presents the idea of the totalitarian World State playing god and having complete

An author by the name of Aldous Huxley wrote a novel named Brave New World. It is about two vastly different worlds, a “civilized” and technologically advanced society; the World State and the “uncivilized” Savage Reservation. The World State is taken place in the future where people are born out of test tubes and when they are eight months old they are electrically shocked so that they hate books and flower. This is due to the controller not wanting his clones to have knowledge or know the true meaning of happiness. In this Utopia the government is run by Mustapha Mond. Mond is one of ten World Controllers who exile those who have unorthodox beliefs. While discussing these unorthodox beliefs, two main characters are presented. Aldous Huxley

In Brave New world, Aldous Huxley portrays a dystopian society that has lost all values and morals of today's civilization. There is also the social change occurring in the form of people beginning to talk more openly about subjects that have previously been kept behind closed doors. All of these political and social issues are shown by using imagery, metaphors, and symbolism to express Huxley’s tone toward how present-day society will become at the rate of the social and political change currently taking place in the world.

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,

The need for stability, a job and enough food are all seen, as well the mindset of wanting it, no matter the cost. Through the society that Huxley creates he raises the question, is that the most important thing? Huxley represents the totalitarian control that the World leaders have over the World state through a variety of different features of life. The Most evident of such is the conditioning of the people. Through this, the leaders have control over reproduction and state of mind. The fundamentals in creating a society exactly how they want. As the reader is introduced to the different conditionings that occur in the society, Huxley uses this to clearly represent the totalitarian society of the world state. Within the totalitarian society, the political idea of utilitarianism is seen. Huxley uses the control that the world controllers have over the society as a means to maintain stability and happiness. This is also revealed through the nations dependence on “soma” a drug that allows for complete ignorance which only further discloses the government control. "All the advantages of Christianity and alcohol; none of their

It is expected that citizens of the World State carry out their lives in the way that they are premeditated by the government. The author portrays a world where nearly every irregularity has been taken out and people could be considered to be parts of a machine instead of members of a society. In his book Brave New World, Aldous Huxley stresses that those in power have absolute control over the rest of the population, creating a world where people are treated as parts of a machine. Examples from the book that prove this include the measures to combat unorthodox behavior, allowing people to avoid all negativity with soma, and the overall structure the society has.

Mond is stating how pre-moderns were constantly being forced to be "mad and wicked and miserable", while their citizens did not know of any other options and were told to be "sane" and "moral" . Mustapha is explaining how with these aspects of society, there's no possible way to achieve stability. Another example that demonstrates the incapability's of stability is through the democratic society. Huxley fiercely draws attention to things such as poverty, disease, and insanity of humans in order to affectively convey his

Our society has several issues that have yet to be resolved. In the novel Brave New World, the author Aldous Huxley advocates a variety of changes in (relatively) modern society by depicting a dystopian world. Written in 1932, many of the book’s themes are still relevant today.

A sterile factory, blanketed in a fluorescent haze accompanied by a muted cicada-like hum, where everything is controlled so the parts and products are fruitful in their function and fulfill their design is, in fact, the setting that human life in World State-- the society of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World-- is created; the first steady thumping of the human heart and first trickle of warm blood manifests itself here in these chilling surroundings. It is clear that the World State in Brave New World longs for a peaceful society, but it twists the ideal principles that lead to achieving such a thing, thus trying to achieve the same goal in a different manner. Thus, I enjoyed this book so thoroughly because it serves as a powerful warning by

George Santayana once said, “Ideal society is a drama enacted exclusively in the imagination.” In life, there is no such thing as a “complete utopia”, although that is what many people try to achieve. Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World is an attempt at a utopian society. In this brave new world, mothers and fathers and family are non-existent. Besides being non-existent, when words of that sort are mentioned, ears are covered and faces of disgust are made. In a report to the Controller, Bernard wrote,”…This is partly due, no doubt to the fact that he heard them talked about by the woman Linda, his m-----“(106). Words of the sort cannot even be written. Art, history, and the ability to have emotions are shunned.

In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley focuses on the idea of totalitarianism and promiscuity, but botched these concepts with science and technology which ultimately fulfill the dystopian world of the grand World State all while using the motto, “community, identity, and stability.” Huxley settles a controversial argument in the dangers of science and technology overpowering societies in the future and strengthens the focus about what actually makes us human. The novel analyzes the idea of totalitarianism via pairing technology and contentment in the World State, where people are created in assembly lines and are conditioned into castes since birth in the futuristic world of Alphas, Betas, Gammas, and Epsilons. The citizens in the World State live their lives mainly tranquilized by drugs and participate in only having sex without any emotional attachment.

Aldous Huxley’s novel, a Brave New World, is a dystopian novel that explains how being a consumerist society instead of a humanistic society can be damning. Central to the dystopian society is the absence of books. Huxley sees books as being a central element in the control of the novel’s society, and the absence of books leads to the loss of reading and loss of writing, but ultimately to the supreme control of the novel’s citizens.

Mustapha Mond, one out of ten of the World State controllers, is written in the novel as main leader. Mond has gained credibility and authority through his process of being educated in the past before the World State was established. He is fit to guide society through his knowledge of past mistakes and has earned his spot as ruler to the new world. Mustapha Mond is wise and knowing when speaking in ‘Brave New World.’ “Feeling lurks in that interval of time between desire and its consummation. Shorten that interval, break down all those old unnecessary barriers.” Through this quote, the reader is induced of the credibility this world ruler has. He provides wisdom in the ordered world. Mond implies the motto of “community, identity and stability” and Huxley includes him for the motto to show meaning beneath a leader. Mustapha Mond is an element of credibility to lead World Stater’s in applying this way of life.
