Fear In Brave New World

Fear plays an important role in how we act and what we do. There are many examples on ways that people react to fear irrationally. Fear is a great strategy if used right.

Sometimes without even thinking, people face their fears of a certain situations that lead them no choice but to be courageous in a feared situation.

It calls the reader to understand that “the emotion of fear itself is not the problem. It is what [one does] with it” (Nichols, 2010, p. 13).

Many people use fear to control others. For example, bosses at work use fear to control their employees to get work done or they may get fired. Similarly, teachers use fear to control their students to behave and work, and if they do not, they get in trouble. Furthermore, coaches use fear as well, to control their teams to have them practice harder or they get punished by running laps.

Everyone possesses the sense of fear caused by bad experiences, desensitization, or an obsession. Fear grants more caution and attention to specific actions. Having caution from fear stimulates your survival instincts. Secondly, having an experience with fear prevents injuries and recurring mistakes.

Humans are born to be afraid. A feeling of fear is only natural for humans to feel; it is a part of who we are. However, it can be more than just a feeling. Fear can be a weakness in humans even though it is only our natural instinct for survival. Sometimes, fear is so powerful that it can blur our rationality and dominate how we think and what we do. What are the different manifestations of fear that are portrayed in The Crucible and in Lord of the Flies?

Today’s society is one of instants: Instant downloads, instant messaging, instant shipping, instant oatmeal, instant movies, instant gratification. For many, the idea of having the world on a whim is a thrilling human achievement. For others, such as Paul Roberts and Aldous Huxley, this instant gratification is their nightmare.

All of the main characters in Poe’s stories are exposed to fear and handle it differently. In the texts by Edgar Allan Poe, the symbols, irony, and imagery all display how fear distorts the narrator's mind and the results of that fear.
