Meagan Dennin Period 4 Shakespeare and John in the Brave New World. John the savage educates himself through the entire collection of William Shakespeare’s work. The plays are all about individuality and through them he realizes how to identify and verbalize his emotions and beliefs. In the brave new world‚ individuality and freedom of personality doesn’t exist. The people are conditioned to feel a certain way and to take somas to cure any emotional pain.

Marriage is wasted‚ in the Savage Reservation the husbands aren’t loyal or faithful to their wives‚ at it happens many times today. The use of drugs became a normal daily routine. Self-indulgences‚ nothing else matters as long ones self is happy. Weather it is in Brave New World or today’s world the arts consist

Huxley intentionally distorted the setting of Brave New World so distance was created between his audience and the reader. This distance allows the reader to cast judgment upon the
