The novel follows two characters, Saeed and Nadia, as they escape together around the world, teasing each other and learning more about the ideas surrounding sex and its associated pleasure along the way. Through his word choice and character descriptions, Hamid portrays women in his novel as being more sexually inclined than men, taking control of the pleasure they want. It becomes apparent very early on in the novel that Saeed is a very chaste man who wants to refrain from having sexual intercourse with Nadia until marriage. This is witnessed through Saeed’s “a bit excessive a delay” (55, Hamid) in initiating sexual intercourse while in bed with Nadia, and his response of “‘I don’t think we should have sex until we’re married’” (55, Hamid) to Nadia’s comment on whether he brought a condom. However, both characters still explore ways to find pleasure, establishing the idea that direct sexual intercourse is not the only source in which to obtain pleasure.

Definitions of utopia and dystopia are various and different by many critics and writers. For instance, utopia is how to organize the society and relationships between people in a perfect way than in writer’s society. In addition, it is thought that utopia is principal category in literature in the twentieth century. Utopia is similar to science fiction because both of them represent unreal world and refer to unique and perfect society (Suvin 34 – 38) there is another definition of utopia which is “Utopia is a holding operation, a set of strategies to maintain social order and the perfection in the face of deficiencies, not to say hostility, of nature and the willfulness of a man” (Davis 37).

Many young people often find themselves struggling to find their own identity and place in society. This search for self worth often leaves these young people feeling lonely and isolated because they are unsure of themselves. But for Holden, even though he wanted acceptance from people, he couldn’t find himself hanging with other people because one of which those things were when people went to watch movies. He thought that going to watch movies was very phony-like because he thought it wasn’t realistic. That also leads on to how he doesn’t like actors.
The movie is based on a schoolboy who was a ‘misunderstood adolescent’ struggling with his parents and his teacher for his rude and abnormal behavior.

The Party uses propaganda as a babysitter for the mind. The propaganda starts when the kids are still young enough to have a babysitter, with the Junior Leagues. The Leagues teach children Party ideals such as chastity and loyalty. As Winston observes, “Chastity was as deeply ingrained in them as Party loyalty. By carefully early conditioning, by games and cold water, by the rubbish that was dinned into them at school and in the Spies and the Youth league, by lectures, parades, songs, slogans, and martial music, the natural feeling had been driven out of them” (Orwell 68).
While Holden hears one thing, the real poem actually refers to a sexual encounter that he does not catch on to because of his childlike innocence. It is a sexual encounter between two people who love one another, but this is not what Holden wishes to hear. For Holden to hear about a sexual encounter is uncomforting, especially
It gives an example of the banal “religion” the World State uses to keep its members in conformity with societal rules. The song’s silly wording helps emphasize the triviality of the ceremony. In Brave New World, the World State reflects a ‘perfect’ society, for abstractly conditioning and forcing the entirety of the population to conform to their desires and their beliefs of a
The idea of a Utopian society is one that many are familiar with. A utopian society is defined as a seemingly perfect society actually plagued by mass corruption. While the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley may seem extreme, the ideas of the corrupted society expressed are not incredibly far off from today’s society. Quite frankly, today’s society is more like the New World society than what one may prefer.
Throughout Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1932) he underscores the problems associated with artificial reproduction in the New World through lack of emotional driven sex, lack of individuality and loss of respect for human spirituality. One of the fundamental questions posed by Huxley is “Do humans want to be happy or to be free?”. The answer to the question in regard to artificial reproduction is found when Mr. Foster states, “[In] the vast majority of cases, fertility is merely a nuisance” (Huxley 13). Mr. Foster makes it apparent that fertility interferes with the hedonistic happiness of those alive in the New World. Mr. Foster outlines the importance of artificial reproduction in relation to happiness when he says “Guaranteed sterile.
