Strengths Of Characters In Brave New World By Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World is set in London A.F. 632 where religion is nonexistent, familial relationships are considered pornographic, and the government maintains strict control over everyone’s lives from fertilization to cremation. However, this control is not universal as there are still pockets of the old world where savages are subjected to old age, disease, and matrimony. It is from the savage reservation in Malpais that Bernard Marx takes misfits John and Linda back with him, to London. While Linda dies a slow, easy death of soma overdose, John is forced to navigate this society with a mind unhindered by conditioning, soma, or propaganda. Through this he is able to see the dangers of complete, totalitarian control of the state

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.

“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.

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.

Aldous Huxley has a humanistic, deep and enlightened view of how society should be, and of what constitutes true happiness. In his novel, Brave New World, he shows his ideas in a very obscure manner. Huxley presents his ideas in a satirical fashion. This sarcastic style of writing helped Huxley show his views in a very captivating and insightful manner. The entire novel describes a dystopia in which intimate relationships, the ability to choose one's destiny, and the importance of family are strictly opposed. In Huxley's mind, however, these three principles are highly regarded as necessary for a meaningful and fulfilling existence.

How would you feel if you were exiled? Most would say this would be a terrible experience. However, several theorists have many different views on the impact of being exiled. American theorist Edward Said claimed, “It is the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted.” But on another note, he said it is “a potent, even enriching.” Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, expands on this idea of exilation. Throughout the novel, several characters are faced with being exiled, whether it be from their home or community. In particular, a man by the name of John seems to experience the bulk of it. John’s experiences show that being exiled is

Reading Brave New World written by Aldous Huxley, readers are led to a dystopia in which the World State takes control over everything including reproduction, consumption and the most important of all‐conditioning. Although Lenina and Linda are not the main characters that bring the story to its climax, they play significant roles in the story as they represent the people being affected by the World State conditioning.

In the totalitarian country of London, the people are not subjected to war, hate, poverty, disease and suffering. There is an abundance of wealth, leisure and pleasures, but with utopia comes elimination of freedom and orthodox values. The people in the society are created in factories, then put into a strict 5 class hierarchy. To take the edge off of the harshness of reality, they take a synthetic drug called Soma and drift into blissful ignorance. When a savage named John—who becomes isolated from his indian tribe in New Mexico—comes to live in utopia London, he is forced to learn the strange, untraditional customs of the civilization. In the end, he has to choose between either assimilation or death. In the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, John the Savage is both alienated from his community and emotionally enriched after being isolated from his home tribe.

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

Having been a somewhat of an outsider in his life, physically and mentally, Aldous Huxley used what others thought as his oddities to create complex works. His large stature and creative individuality is expressed in the characters of his novel, Brave New World. In crafting such characters as Lenina, John, Linda, Bernard, and Helmholtz, not to mention the entire world he created in the text itself, Huxley incorporated some of his humanities into those of his characters. Contrastly, he removed the same humanities from the society as a whole to seem perfect. This, the essence and value of being human, is the great meaning of Brave New World. The presence and lack of human nature in the novel exemplifies the words of literary theorist Edward Said: “Exile is strangely compelling to think about but terrible to experience. It is the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted.” Huxley’s characters reflect the “rift” in their jarred reaction to new environments and lifestyles, as well as the remnant of individuality various characters maintain in a brave new world.

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

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World introduces us to a futuristic technological world where monogamy is shunned, science is used in order to maintain stability, and society is divided by 5 castes consisting of alphas(highest), betas, gammas, deltas, and epsilons(lowest). In the Brave New World, the author demonstrates how society mandates people’s beliefs using many characters throughout the novel.

The formative years of the 1900’s, suffered from communism, fascism, and capitalism. The author of the Brave New World, Mr. Aldous Huxley lived in a social order in which he had been exposed to all three of these systems. In the society of the Brave New World, which is set 600 years into the future, individuality is not condoned and the special motto “Community, Identity, Stability” frames the structure of the Totalitarian Government.

Moreover, the government has and will continue to use technology and other means to enforce stability and peace. The power of science can keep the society stable and can help society to have less conflicts. As far as Mond is considered, when citizens live in a calm and harmonious society it is better for the government to build and uphold that stable society. Soma is the best example of this from the novel, since the World State keeps its citizens content by dosing them with the drug soma. Soma essentially numbs their feelings and desires and thus enforces peace in the society. What it especially does is prevent citizens from thinking for themselves, and this is precisely what Mond fears most. When Mond argues that science must be controlled,
