Free Will In Brave New World

“If one’s different, one’s bound to be lonely.” Within Brave New World, a totalitarian government in a utopian world is depicted by a handful of hatchery directors that condition each of their creations and divide them into groups amongst one another based on qualities in order to establish an idealistic stable community depicting the theme of power. Aldous Huxley illustrates social and political worldly conflicts within a newfound society to ridicule the behavior of other upon him and the strictness of his living environment during the 1930’s and surroundings by using figurative language, tone, and detail.

This novel suggests that there is more to life than just happiness; Brave New World insinuates that readers should seek freedom, knowledge and love in life. Huxley implies that without these fulfilling emotions and feelings, readers will be subject to a dreary and repetitive life.

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 societies morals are distorted with respect to current society. As an outsider of the world state John provides perspective on the downfalls of the World State; Lenina, as the every person of the brave new world allows us to see how members of the brave new world behave. The novel demonstrates the idea that having a free will is more important than stability and security by showing us that without freedom people in the brave new world struggle to find meaning and they cannot experience many feelings of joy such as love, birth, and marriage, and the brave new world can drive people to their ultimate demise . Many characters in the novel cannot find any meaning in their life because all freedom has been eradicated from the world state.

“Aldous Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’ is largely about what we got – a consumerist post God happy land …” This quote from Kyle Smith in his article about Brave New World is an example on how the world is becoming the dystopia that Aldous Huxley created in Brave New World. In Brave New World people are taken away from reality by a drug called soma, the belief in Henry Ford as a God instead of a person, the technological control from birth that changes what a person wants to something that the government wants the citizen to know, the fear or an all powering state, and the alienation of people forced into a society they don’t want to be in or are not wanted in.

​Brave New World is a utopian novel, which accidentally turned into a dystopian novel by Aldous Huxley published in 1932. According to Huxley, the society in Brave New World is manipulated through the use of propaganda that brainwash people’s minds. This enables the government to have full control over its citizens and to prevent rebellions. In the society of Brave New World propaganda plays three major roles in maintaining happiness and control in the world state.

Throughout the novel of Brave New World, Aldous Huxley tries to create a futuristic, Utopian society in which to warn the dangers of scientific progress. Huxley creates a type of world in which people are being controlled and developed by science. Huxley uses Henry Ford’s principle of mass production and happens to apply it to biology. While still creating his own World Statem Huxley differentiates the roles of men and women, in where men are powerful figures and women are only sex objects.

Aldous Huxley’s world accredited and celebrated masterpiece Brave New World’s futuristic world is just as horrifying as it is compelling. Nevertheless, it can be interpreted in many ways. Some of its audiences are infatuated by the technological and scientific advancements exhibited by the World State, some are mesmerised by the mere thought of a world free from sickness, torture and poverty, while others just see a fictional tale that is worth a good read. However I myself, think nothing of this. In a world plagued by unavoidable suffering – inequality, deprivation and mistreatment – my mind is filled with scepticism over how fictional this Brave New World really is. Of particular note, I am truly distressed and disturbed to know that Huxley’s interpretation of the “perfect world” is functioned through a totalitarian system of government which applauds and endorses a class system.

A perfect world seems nearly impossible to obtain. In Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, a society is created where stability is chosen over independence. Aldous Huxley creates a dystopian world where everything appears to be perfect. A few characters see the problems and attack the new world. In the World State’s society, true happiness, freedom, emotion, and reality are robbed from the members.

The media tells us how to live and how to act. When we fall short of these expectations, we can take anti-depressants to make us feel better. In this part of the novel, Huxley’s warns us that individuality happiness must come from within in order for the good of the community. Brave New World is a novel about the impact that technology and psychological conditioning can have on society.

The dystopia painted by Aldous Huxley in Brave New World is a potential outcome of the future. Huxley composes his novel in a satirical nature not only to ridicule society and human

Have you ever thought about how it might feel to have your life controlled by the government? Aldous Huxley’s 1932 novel, Brave New World explores this very topic. An allegory of an industrialized society, Brave New World describes a kind of society that formerly gets inherited with specific traits in order to complete profounding tasks. The purpose of doing so is to keep the society running smoothly. Totalitarianism is subjected upon people from the day of their birth with the usage of much science and technology. There is much lack of individuality as every person is put in a specific caste which really determines who they are. Each and every individual is brainwashed by the government. The World State’s goal is nothing but perfection. However, none of it is for the benefit of the people as they have no freedom and face strong measures of inequality. In sum, in Aldous Huxley 's Brave New World, the World State clearly portrays a dystopian society.

Aldous Huxley, in the novel “Brave New World”, shows the different ways people deal with sex and love. The sexual activities and reproduction of the people are controlled by the World State. Aldous Huxley tries to describe and create the future as an utopian society where he warns human of the dangers of technology advantage. People in Brave New World are basically controlled and created by science. Huxley bases himself on Henry Ford’s principle of mass production and he applies this principle to the creation of human beings. In this novel, Huxley contrasts the roles of men and women, where men are seen as powerful figures and women are only sex objects.

In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, satire is used to show how ridiculous modern society was in the 1930s. Huxley refers to a variety of themes, ranging from the decay of morals and culture to drug dependency to brainwashing to others. Huxley also speaks of how the world in the 1930s is getting too liberal, nobody cares about each other, and how if you have a problem you can just take drugs until it is no longer a problem.

Compare life as Huxley described it in the World State with life where drugs are part of your everyday life which controlled your emotions and freedoms. Aldous Huxley play’s with the idea of a dramatically dystopian society where drugs greatly encouraged by government to hold control over person destiny or conscience. Brave New World was written by Aldous Huxley in 1932. The novel takes place in a dystopian world, mainly around the London area. The general argument made by the Huxley’s in his work is that society takes away from an individual’s personal freedom, happiness, and truths because throughout the novel its seen that use of drug soma to control their emotion is part of their cultural or society rule.
