interesting is that I have found no articles written before the 1990’s on the gender issue in Brave New World. This could show how only recently it is becoming apparent to us in our society of a gender bias. Another important thing to note is that not all the critical essays I read were written by women; David Leon Higdon wrote a compelling article which proves that the misogyny and inequality in Brave New World is not something that takes a female feminist activist to point out. I have also read two

Throughout history‚ power has evolved from being utilized for violence and self-benefit‚ to the development and betterment of the general masses. In modern society today‚ it is a massive driving force in determining what is to happen next. This idea of authority is a continuous theme in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World.

Aldous Huxley novel Brave New World shows that in order for a society to achieve a state of stability‚ there has to be a sacrifice of individuality‚ emotions‚ and Mother Nature. The government carefully engineers these conditions‚ creating a society where people are living “happily”‚ but at great cost.

Some believe it ’s possible to have a Utopia while others believe there is no way that it can. Plato‚ More‚ Hobbes‚ and Locke are some that have a high idea of Utopias. A Brave New World‚ indirectly supported and refuted some of the ideas of these philosophers in different ways. A philosopher that can support Brave New World is Plato. Plato was against families‚ and he thought no child should know their parents. This was a very obvious in the book. In the story‚ natural reproduction was not used

In Brave New World‚ by Aldous Huxley the role of race shows that segregation is not born within the subconscious of our minds. It is rather a concept that is bestowed upon our minds. This can be seen in the need to implement hypnopedia in order to create continuous judgment‚ the need to separate Savages from World State‚ and the need to physically and mentally lower a portion of the population so that the feeling of superiority manifests among its leaders. To begin with‚ all the citizens of World

Brave New World Evaluation My overall impression of “Brave New World” presents a combination of emotions. I really enjoyed the novel‚ it was easy to read and understand. However‚ the content came as a shock. This book is much different from what I’m used to reading. Even though the book contained some issues that could cause concern I did not find it offensive. It was not as graphic as some people make it out to be. Written 80 years ago‚ this book appears on the most challenged books list every

In Brave New World‚ Huxley exaggerates the fact that a world that strives for stability must eliminate individualism and relationships. One major distortion in Brave New World is the prevention of individualism. In order to live in a Utopia‚ a person cannot be an individual. Huxley makes this clear from the first page of the novel‚ revealing the World State’s motto of “Community‚ Identity‚ Stability.” Conformity is what this society strives for. Individuals cannot make up a community‚ which is why
