    Conclusion In Chapter 5 of Brave New World, Bernard and Lenina have meaningless sex under the influence of drugs. These events demonstrate Huxley’s depiction of the degrading society that he saw in the Roaring Twenties when he visited the promiscuous United States. By magnifying these concerns in his utopian society, he allows the reader to question the direction of the real world’s values. Bernard acts as Huxley’s voice of reason, he does not believe that someone should take drugs yet he does it to fit in with those around him.

The experience in which Janie attempts to make her first expression of love, Nanny resents her actions and proceeds to turn it into something to be ashamed of.

  • Historical Context Of The Social Perception Of Sexual Behavior

    603 Words  | 3 Pages

    Sexual behavior has been evolving ever since it was first introduced to the society. Decades ago, sexual behavior was not seen and/or taken as serious as it is now. In addition, several acts that are now seen as grotesque, were once seen as something normal before. It is very significant to understand the historical context of the social perception of sexual behavior because of the way it is perceived now. The past “normal” acts depended on the acceptance of the society and the political ideologies.

    However, John’s forced exposure to Linda’s sexual relationships placed him far away from that true home within himself, amounting to exile. This exposure was very central in formulating John’s rejection of sexual behavior outside of marriage, thus rejecting a major component of civilized society itself. John transformed this rejection into anger when he thought of the men who visited his mother: “He hated them all – all the men who came to see Linda” (Page 125). As a result, these experiences enriched John by giving his life more direction and leading him to place more value on personal connections with women. When tempted by Lenina’s aesthetic beauty, he erupted, “’Detestable thought!’

  • Sexual Morality In The Victorian Era And 1960s

    1111 Words  | 5 Pages

    When I did the quick research of sexual morality moralities of the two eras, the Victorian Era and 1960s, it is significant that these two eras hugely have dissimilarities, and the young generation in 1960s became more opened-minded, and then, people had more and more sexual freedom. This is due to the fact that, in the Victorian Era, most people significantly could not access homosexual sexuality, masturbation and premarital sex, yet the majority of people in 1960s initiated to have sexual liberation - homosexuality was legalized, and masturbation became no longer moral issues. One of the reasons why the sexual morality in 1960s was transformed, for the people became more opinionated creatures unlike Victorian era - Victorian grandpas and grandmas were ignorant. For example, it was more common that there was no sexual liberation (prostitution and premarital sex) in the Victorian era because the people had the sexual oppression views on women, and kept the double - standard which means the ancestors came from lower socioeconomic class did not have the chance to be the higher socioeconomic class. However in the 1960s, each person views on sexuality involved into the openness, and prostitution was legalized in France, England, and other Western countries.
