How Does Huxley Present Death In Brave New World

Huxley is saying that Family life causes humans to feel emotionally attached to one another; this causes humans to feel more emotional and therefore be more vulnerable to being hurt emotionally. This negativity causes instability in humans causing unconventional thoughts of suicide and madness. Monogamy is frowned upon in the world state; an example of monogamy is given with one single hole is being poked through a pipe. The water exiting forcefully flowed out like a jet from the immense amount of pressure acting on it. When numerous holes where poked through the pipe, the water flowed out like fountains. This symbolizes that in one single relationship, emotional

In 1606, Shakespeare created a soliloquy that was named Macbeth. In 1931, Aldous Huxley created a novel named Brave New World. Whether or not Huxley used Macbeth in the creation of Brave New World is not known; but the fact that Macbeth is a soliloquy and Brave New World is a novel doesn’t change that throughout these pieces; the allusions presented are indirect and very similar to each other. The values of life in both pieces are similar to each other, but the resulting settings and structure of each text make the values of life separate from each other. Shakespeare’s Macbeth emphasizes the fact that in order to value life, one must value the future and fate; while in comparison and somewhat of a contrast, Huxley patronizes life as a flaw

Human Nature contains many unexplained and mysterious cycles. The most common and natural cycle of the human life is death. In the poems “Dust in the wind,” “Don't Fear the Reaper,” and “Thanatopsis” they all explore death and describe not to fear death, but is presented in different ways where one glorifies death while the others glorify life.

Huxley has used imagery to create numerous atmospheres. Huxley uses the provocative imagery of death to create a feeling of solitude for the reader, with words such as “pale”, “corpse-coloured”, “cold”, “frozen”, “dead”, “thin” and “ghost.” The content of imagery Huxley has provided is both strange and intriguing. All of these examples have helped Huxley to make his novel vivid and lively to the reader. "Bernard stood watching the retreating twinkle of the white stockings, the sunburnt knees vivaciously bending and unbending again, again, and the softer rolling of those well-fitted corduroy shorts beneath the bottle green jacket (Huxley 84)." This use of imagery provides the point of

Humans tend to run away from the inevitable, which causes worry about the events to come. Although death is an event that all will eventually have to face, it is one of humanity’s most widely feared phenomenons. Death presents itself to society in a variety of ways, such as war, disease, and natural disasters. Society’s fear of death is an inspiration for many authors who have turned it into a work reflecting humans’ temporal nature and fear of the unknown. Edgar Allan Poe is a quintessential example of literary reflection of human mortality, as his short story, “The Masque of the Red Death,” reflects the tuberculosis epidemic of the nineteenth century.

‘That [Death] in a way was a metaphor for the idea that this book is about people doing beautiful things in a really ugly time.’ (Zusak, 2010)

The final quote reminds us that Death is completely different from humans, but will always remain here to perform his job. Here, Death offers a cynical, yet truthful, view on the world;

In the book Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, the essence of humanity is questioned.The World state completely destroyed the whole concept of being a human by taking away the people's individuality. The analysis will focus on chapter 1, from pages 11 through 12, which is a perfect example in the book of how collectivism sacrifices the uniqueness of humanity.

Mark Twain said, “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time”. Death is inevitable and no matter how hard we try; its presence is never fully forgotten. While examining both Mark Twain and William Cullen Bryant lives, we see that they exceled in their areas of expertise and enjoyed the lemons that were handed to them. They both made many statements about life, of which time cannot deteriorate their importance and value.

Death is inevitable. For some, obsessing over not knowing when and where it might occur can often drive them to insanity. However, for others, it is simply a transition into a more perfect eternal life. John Keats and Henry Longfellow portray the concept of dying in two distinct perspectives in their poems “When I Have Fears” and “Mezzo Cammin.” Despite differing viewpoints, they use techniques such as verse, verse form and language to portray the same theme: Death will occur at an unknown time and how a person chooses to cope will impact the rest of one’s life.

In the novel Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, literature is used to teach lessons regarding real life. Through the use of fiction characters, society is shown reality or warnings of what is to come or could happen. Through the use of satire, figurative language, irony and symbols, Huxley portrays a society negatively impacted by too much technology. The over reliance and worship of technology along with drug reliance and government control is what Huxley tries to warn us about. Modern day critics view this as a work of caution and the dangers on the future.

Ernest Becker was a cultural anthropologist that sought to synthesize research and findings from many different fields of work to create an all-encompassing explanation as to why human society is the way it is with particular emphasis on the hostility that creates barricades between different social groups. From this research he composed The Denial of Death, his magnum opus which aims to breakdown and tackle the one principle that explains human behavior and culture—our awareness of our vulnerability through our own mortality.

The human experience is something that everyone goes through during their life. Some of the elements that make up the human experience are love, death, birth, friendship, sex, work, war, fate, and destiny. The element that every human will face at one point in their life is death. Death is an inevitable factor in someone’s life that they cannot avoid. Different cultures and religions view death differently and everyone’s stance on death varies. Death can be seen as horrific and sad but death can also be seen as relief or the next stage in life. Although there are different views on death, certain literary works discuss or display death in way that can be discussed and analyzed to better understand the meaning of the human experience concerning

Death is a topic that is celebrated in some cultures, but feared and avoided in others. This contrast in opinion occurs in the passages, “I am Vertical,” written by Sylvia Plath, and an excerpt from the novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain. Within Twain’s novel is a story about the dangerous, yet exciting, journey of the main character, Huckleberry Finn, as he travels along the Mississippi River. He faces many challenges along the way, and encounters death, as well as fear and adventure. On the other hand, Plath’s poem romanticizes death, while discussing the phenomenal feeling of sleeping or lying down. Therefore, both passages, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain and, “I am Vertical,” by Sylvia Plath, demonstrate the subject of death and its significance to the main characters through the use of first-person perspective, descriptive imagery, and emotional diction.

Death brings forth thoughts of loss, grief, anger, or fear. People tend to think of Death as a sly snake stealing away loved ones. However, American-Romantic poets William Cullen Bryant and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, seem to think differently. They both see death as a normal aspect of life. In the poem“Thanatopsis”, written by William Bryant, he portrays death not like the mysterious shadow that should be feared but the calming embrace of Nature. In Longfellow’s “The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls”, Longfellow showed the readers that Humans and Nature might live together in harmony, but there is one major difference. That would the amount of time each force has on Earth. The minute death seizes the last breath, a human dies, but Nature continues to live as if there was no effect. However, in “The Cross in Snow”, Longfellow portrays that Humans may be limited on life, but Human Emotions
