Modernism In Brave New World
Brave New World was written by Aldous Huxley in England and published in 1932. Its literacy period is the Modernism. In Brave New World, science becomes the search of accuracy and fact in the different sciences, from biology to physics as it also become knowledge. Brave New World elevate the terrifying prospect that advances in the science of biology and psychology by changing the way how human beings anticipate and perform. In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the main character named Victor Frankenstein was a scientist as he was trying to create something new; the goal of science is to discover new knowledge. He made a deceased human being from another as most scientists are trying to recreate life from another life through cloning. Aldous Huxley’s

Brave New World and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein portrays science being misuse by using it for different purpose such as genetic engineering and creating life from death and reanimating a dead body.
The novel starts in the future in the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre.
This institution plays in the role of artificial reproduction and social conditioning of the world’s population. The Director of the Centre leads a group of students on the tour of the facility and its operation which it is a biological version of the assembly line with test-tube as product. The Director explains what the “Bokanosky’s Process” does as he explains that one egg can spilt into eight to ninety six other eggs:
By which time the original egg was in a fair way to becoming anything from eight to ninety-six embryos-a prodigious improvement, you will agree, on nature. Identical twins-but not in piddling twos and threes as in the old viviparous days, when an egg would sometimes accidentally divide; actually by dozens by scores at a time (Huxley, 7). With this in mind, the Hatchery and Conditioning center manufactures human being as Gammas, Deltas and Epsilons are put through the Bokanovsky Process that cause an egg to divide into as many as ninety six identical twins. It is combined with the Podsnap’s technique that hastens the maturation of an egg in an ovary. With this technique, many related people can be created from the ova and sperm of the same man and lady inside of two years. The Bokanovsky Process allows the overly to produce eleven thousand human beings; eleven thousands of them are brothers and sisters to each other. The institution is creating generation after generation
of children and it peruses a scientific achievements of human cloning, fast development, and pre-birth molding.
The Director leads to the group of the students to the infant nursey and the narrator explains the demonstration of “Neo- Pavlovian Conditioning”:
He waved his hand again, and the Head Nurse pressed a second lever. The screaming of the babies suddenly changed its tone. There was something desperate, almost insane, about the sharp spasmodic yelps to which they now gave utterance. Their little bodies twitched and stiffened; their limbs moved jerkily as if to the tug of unseen wires (Huxley 21).
The Director and the Head Nurse are using different methods to experiment on how the group of babies are responding to loud noises such as alarm bells and shrieking sirens; the babies respond by screaming as their faces filled with terror with the Director and the group of students watched. When the Director signals the Head Nurse for the electric shocks, the babies response to it from screaming to twitching and stiffening. It concentrates on the utilization of psychological technologies to control the future conduct of World State citizens by reprograming how individuals anticipate and perform such as hating the books and flowers. This method is model after the research of Ivan Pavlov who is a Russian scientist. Pavlov exhibited that dogs could be trained d to salivate at the ringing of a chime if the sound was reliably ocular combined with food.
