the society of today what the future will look like. Orwell’s 1984 and Huxley’s Brave New World both may have similar archetypes, but they have different morals, one being that Brave New World inflicted pleasure and the truth would be drowned in irrelevance. Both 1984 and Brave New World may be considered as similar novels since they are both totalitarian society. 1984 is a dystopian novel, while Brave New World is a utopia, which is the complete opposite. 1984 is all about of a brain-washed society

The book, Brave New World, was written by Aldous Huxley. Aldous Huxley makes his own society through this book, and the book shows how they use technology to control the society, and how all of the characters in the book don’t accept the truth about their situations. Huxley’s society is one of a kind with no difficulty or struggles, just how he intended it to be. The fathers and mothers of the children were not known because the genetic engineering created each individual child in a test tube, exactly

and John and Linda. The two of them symbolize the reality that this world is not as perfect as they want it to be, and not everything goes as perfect as the New World claims that they are. Linda was a member of the New World, but stayed in the Savage Reservation because of the embarrassment of getting pregnant. She became a fat, crazy drunk because that was the only way she could remove herself from her situation of live in this new, barbaric society. Also, John was born in the barbaric society but

Brave New World. Everyone was happy and content with what social class they were in and had no worries. They took drugs to make themselves feel better. But they didn’t have morals. In our society, we do have morals, but not everyone is happy or content with where they are in their lives, and using drugs doesn’t stop the sadness from inside of you. Our society is much different from the one represented in Brave New World because of our morality. Our society is obsessed with bettering the world. We

Brave New World accurately uses satirical techniques in order to ridicule the modern society’s flaws. Huxley was able to inscribe his frustration with society following the enlightenment needed to “open the audiences’ eyes”. One such way that Huxley described his frustration was through technology such as media and stimulants. Huxley, able to utilize these fundamentals in order to introduce the controversy between the novel and the reader, indirectly compares the humanity of Brave New World and the

Delgado English Bridges 1st period 01/24/2023 Dangers of propaganda In a Brave New World, readers will be introduced to a story that can be described as a futuristic story of a controlled society that has no choice on what they want, but rely on drugs, mainly Soma which was introduced by scientists. This story shows the dangers of drugs used to control mental illnesses and modify other human parts of the body. Brave New World, a story written by Aldous Huxley, examines a futuristic society in which scientists

The dystopian novel, “Brave New World”, by Aldous Huxley was about a future based society. The government had complete control by giving them a pleasure drug substance called, “Soma.” A law that the government made was to have sex with everyone but to have any emotional attachment was illegal. In the book, everybody is dehumanized because of the government taking away their identity and emotions. “Brave New World” is a great novel that still connects to our society today, even though it was written

the truth of the ‘Brave New World’. It represents a disturbing, loveless and even ominous place. It is so because Aldous Huxley provides his ‘ideal’ society with characteristics intended to estrange his readers. The author decided to exploit the profound worries and anxieties of his readers from all around the world to show that both communism on the east and capitalism on the west spell disaster (huxley.net). Indeed, the penman creates the residents of his ‘brave new world’ by combining the most

Throughout the story, I found Brave New World by Aldous Huxley to be significantly similar to our world. For the book to be published in the 1930s, Huxley eerily predicted what our world would look like. For example, when he wrote the book, relationships were more traditional; people married and gave birth to children as soon as possible. In Brave New World, Huxley imagined a world where relationships are more open and less conservative. Although the ideas sound extreme, they are relevant today as

Imagine a world with no literature or love or hope. Imagine a world with no stability or order or government. Either extreme would seem to result in complete chaos; however, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World dares to challenge this universal truth. By creating a society where the idea of emotional drive is foreign, Brave New World strives for “Stability, Community, and Identity.” Brave New World controller, Mustapha Mond, however, believes in Brave New World’s theology but not enough to diminish his

Individuality Versus Conformity In the story Brave New World by Aldous Huxley we are introduced to the ways of a dystopian future. Set in London, 632 a.f. (632 years after Ford), where everyone is made from a cast, polyamory is considered normal, and all fit into the preconceived social classes made to keep order. This novel follows Benarde Marx, an “Alpha” who is upset with the created system, and later in the story John the Savage, an outsider from a New Mexico Savage Reservation, in a story that explores

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley depicts a dystopian future in which the people are controlled and conditioned to accept their predestined positions and lives. Among the novel's protagonists, one of the most idealistic is John the Savage, who romanticized the world due to his exposure to Shakespearean literature. Throughout the work, John's idealism has both great and harmful effects, and Huxley utilizes John's character to show the perils of blindly following idealistic views. John's idealism stems

Nasht’s film, “Frank Hurley the man who made history”, documents the impact these experiences had on Hurley’s perception of the world, leading to cynical and unethical behaviour in Papua New Guinea. Similarly, in Aldous Huxley’s novel “A brave new world”, the character John the savage experiences a process of discovery revealing the dehumanisation
