Unhappiness In Brave New World

636 Words3 Pages

In "From Barave New World" by Aldous Huxley. The author does not describe the characters so that we can imagine how they look. The purpose of the author is that we know all the facts in the story so that we can decide and support with side of the story we think is the correct one. The conflict started when The Savage wanted to be happy but his idea of happiness is unhappiness for the new civilisation. The happiness for The Savage is to have God, poetry, real danger, and other things but for the new civilisation happiness is to do things comfortably.
At the beginning of the novel "From Brave New World" by Adous Huxley the savage asked the controller what did he paid for his happiness. The controller answered, religion but he said that he forgot …show more content…

I think that the good part was that the "unhappiness" was to have God, poetry, real danger, freedom, goodness and sin. But I thought that the bad part of "unhappiness" is that the people that are unhappy are being tortured, and they have too little to eat. I think that the excerpt is similar to the "Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins because in both a new civilisation want the people to be perfect, they do not want people to be humans and make mistakes. The society will agree with The Savage because he wants to be happy and a normal person, but other people will agree with The Controller because if they agree they will not get tortured.
In conclusion, "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley has different points of view between two characters, The Savage and The Controller. This leads to a conflict towards the end pf the text. The Controller is part of a new civilisation that has the people living in it with restrictions. On the other hand The Savage wants to be happy, or what I think he wants to be human. The Savage does not want to lose things that people has only to be like the

  • Truth And Happiness In Brave New World

    My topic for this ISP will be Aldous Huxley 's comparison between truth and happiness in "Brave New World". In this novel, Huxley uses an abundance of oblivious characters to promote the act of consumption as an emotional equal to happiness. However, his character "Mond" to express that truth is in fact more important than happiness. Mond is complex because he cannot act on his argument as he is the world controller of the area in which the story takes place. At the same time, rebellious characters such as The Director 's son John or Bernard Marx are used to highlight an outsider 's view on World State, and how extensively the loyal

    Everyone in the real world is ambiguous. In Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World, three of his characters show realistic moral ambiguity. This concept is when an individual is not a clear protagonist or antagonist. These characters often fail to obey societal standards and lash out, painting them as antagonists; however, they also show love and real human needs, allowing the reader to empathize with them. Moral ambiguity is important because it shows humanity in fiction.

    I also agree with the opinion that suffering might never end, like the novel indicates through imagery at the very end. The author manages to combine happy moments with sad ones even though the sad ones takes the larger share. In addition, he accomplished his aim of having an audience that is glued to the book all along sine it is both engaging and informative. The author has a perception that the world is composed of more bad things than the good ones. This novel will be important to me as I explore the themes of post-apocalyptic fears and human struggles.
