Lauren Wadas Ms. Petersen, AP Lit 2017 Exile in a Brave New World, As Expressed by Brave New World 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

Brave New World 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

Brave New World has been relevant to moral society ever since it was first published in 1932. From genetic engineering to class struggles, Brave New World examines a future where embryos are chemically treated to ensure they fit in a class, and then babies are hypnotized into believing governmental doctrines as pure truth. The use of Soma, a narcotic used as an instant anti-depressant, casts a worrying shadow on the chemical treatment of clinical depression to an extent. These are ideas that have

shape is the island/country? How big is it? The shape of the island is a circle ish shape being medium to large in size. The island is located in the Pacific Ocean, close to Hawaii. Are there lots of sandy beaches? Forest or jungles? Villages, towns, or developed cities? What parts of the island (if any) are developed, and what parts (if any) are left untouched? There are sandy beaches around the perimeter of the island. Multiple patches of thick jungles are scattered among the island. There are

The Island. It didn’t have a name, really. Oh, it probably did have a name on maps and charts and the like, but to the people who called it home it was just “The Island”. Located somewhere among the Islands that made up the nation of Kiribati, in the South Pacific Ocean, The Island was geographically only a few hundred nautical miles south of the equator. The nearest substantial landmass was Papua New Guinea, but if you wanted real civilisation, then your best bet was Australia. The Island was…unique

Huxley’s style contains long descriptive passages over short statements. His syntax style fits into the setting just like how his diction does. As a result, his statements often include scientific reports, which also go with the setting at stated previously. The very formal report style passages are complex and both add to the tone and mood. This is because it is a highly advanced technological world. The syntax found in Brave New World includes anaphoric sentences. For instance, “He had been prepared

punishment but instead he regards his exile with almost relief. This relief is brought on by the fact that Watson was secretly miserable in the society he lived in where, ironically, he was supposed to be perpetually happy. Once Watson is sent to the island he will finally be able to write freely and find some purpose in his life as he employs, “the power”, he always suspected he possessed. Through his exile, Watson will likely find a truer form of happiness than he had ever experienced from his life

1. “But the tears are necessary. Don’t you remember what Othello said? ‘If after every tempest came such calms, may the winds blow till they have wakened death.’ There’s a story one of the old Indians used to tell us, about the Girl of Mataski. The young men who wanted to marry her had to do a morning’s hoeing in her garden. It seemed easy; but there were flies and mosquitoes, magic ones. Most of the young men simply cannot stand the biting and stinging. But the one that could-he got the girl.”

Truth vs. Happiness “If one’s different, one’s bound to be lonely”(Huxley 90), stated the savage John in Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley . In this novel, the government banned all kinds of human truth like friendship, love, books, and any emotions. The citizen cannot know the truth, because if they found out the truth, they will not trust science and the government. The citizens are fed with lies in order for the government to keep them happy and distracted from the truth, but it’s not real happiness

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is novel depicting the “utopian society” which is ironically not ideal. The people who live in this brave new world are callous, uniform, and slaves to their government. While it is not as blatant and outrageous as George Orwell’s 1984 that the government closely monitors their people, they watch so their citizens so much that they threaten to send the main character, Bernard Marx, away for having a “boring” sexual life (Huxley 98). The motif of alienation constantly
