Aldous Huxley 's A Brave New World

Huxley’s Brave New World centers around a society far from modern day. In this warped

negative view of society in the 1930’s. Huxley dislikes the direction the world is going in during

To begin, Huxley utilizes Aristotelian appeals in order to incite a response of discontentment towards dangerous technologies from his readers. In his novel, the author highlights the ways in which scientific advances could be converted by a totalitarian government into innovations that would ultimately alter how individuals behave and think. Towards the beginning of the novel, the author details the laws against natural

I believe that Huxley uses diction and irony to show how dysfunctional the society was and how

The Brave New World that Huxley created in his book is one of dramatically stratified social classes, Alpha through Epsilon, designed and conditioned from even before birth to fit into their predestined role in the society. Especially for the upper classes, everything is engineered towards comfort and consumption, to the point where people can even escape uncomfortable emotions by taking a drug known as

The human mind consistently wonders what if, and soon finds itself looking into the future for different possibilities in life. In Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World, the reader finds Huxley exploring a nuance in humanity, creating a dystopia, where science becomes the new focus and humans are mass produced in test tubes. Huxley creates a world which contrasts to some aspects of what the world is today. In this dystopia, the values of people are in the technologies which are developed to speed the process of developing babies. Through Huxley’s effective use of syntax and diction, his use of literary techniques, the structure, and playing of theme, Huxley creates an image of a society that worships technology

In the novel, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, Huxley includes allusion, ethos, and pathos to mock the wrongdoings of the people which causes physical and mental destruction in the society as a whole. The things that happened in the 1930’s plays a big contribution to the things that go on in the novel. The real world can never be looked at as a perfect place because that isn't possible. In this novel, Huxley informs us on how real life situations look in his eyes in a nonfictional world filled with immoral humans with infantile minds and a sexual based religion.

Aldous Huxley is making several social commentaries through this novel. With the juxtaposition of our society and Brave New World we can evaluate his points of view. There are a variety of similarities and differences that allows us to see this. He used some of our practices as a society and expanded them by making it into more extreme concepts. He used the Bokanovsky process to comment on genetic modification and mass production of living organisms, sexual normalization to comment on our society's sexual suppression.

Huxley’s imaginative examples of how we prioritize superficial desires illustrate to the audience that our society needs to care more about our lives and the lives of those around us, instead of looks and drugs. For years we have used our technological and scientific improvements for our shallow desires, not for the health of our society. The parallels between Huxley’s society and ours exist because his brave new world represents an exaggerated version of our world, he meant his novel to display the faults of sophisticated

Perception has its way of fitting people 's circumstances to fit their complex, and in its’ entirety that 's what this dystopian novel is about. Human emotion is replaced with universal thinking and the corruption of one 's sense of self to the point where civilization has a “hive mind”complex. “Community,Identity,Stability” (5) are the words engraved into the society Huxley portrays as the United

Did you know that 1% of the population owns 48% of the world’s wealth. Our whole life is based on people being classified into certain groups. We are divided into social classes based on everything in our lives. A huge example is found in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. In the book people divided into Alphas, Betas, Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons.

In this world, the family unit does not exist and the concept of having a mother and father is considered a primitive quality of humans. Technology has subverted the world so much that even God is replaced by Ford. Constant references throughout the novel are made to "Our Ford," referring to Henry Ford, the embodiment of industrial development. The real world in which we live is not much different from this that Huxley writes about in the 1930's. Technological developments have already allowed us to create embryos outside of the womb. The values that once existed in religion and family are slowly but surely disappearing. Even today\, the vast majority of America and the world have lessened their beliefs, their worshiping of God and practicing religion. Technology has become the new religion as it provides the materialistic progress that people desire. Women will soon have the ability to have children but not carry the children themselves for nine months. What is important anymore? Because of technology, a family unit merely represents a group of people that has dinner together every so often. Values in education and good citizenship are no longer taught to children in such intensity as distractions brought forth by the media and video games only encourage having fun as opposed to studying and working hard for a future. We are destroying our own world with the obsessive violence taught and practiced by elementary

The same with the castes, the consumerism, the violence etc. The world created by Huxley is eerie in how real it feels. This seems like it could be a potential future society. novel still has relevance for our society. Huxley mocked the growth of "mass society" -- mass production, consumerism, mass media, popular culture,

who controls every aspect of people's lives. During this time Huxley writes his novel, the

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, published in 1932, is a masterpiece of science fiction. His imagined, dystopian state creatively employs facts and theories of science, as well as his very own thinly-veiled commentary on the future of society. His family background and social status, in addition to molding Huxley himself and his perspective, no doubt made impact on his writing and contributed to the scientific accuracy of his presentation. However, Huxley certainly qualifies as a social commenter and his extensive works, while sometimes biased, were always perceptive comments on the future of mankind, predictions made based on current event in his world. In other words, current affairs had undeniable impact on Huxley’s novel, and his
