Henry Ford served as the inventor for the assembly line.

Shakespeare’s work is so pervasive that it is echoed many times. This is because many well-known quotes are attributed to Shakespeare and writers use these quotes to add depth to their work. In addition to quotes, many themes and plots are borrowed from Shakespeare as his work gives meaning to anything written after his work.

Aldous Huxley's Brave New World portrays a future dystopia in which all the inhabitants merely live for pleasure. All of the characters focus on enjoying things 'in the moment' rather than allow themselves to experience unpleasant truths regarding the past or future. The society even denies death and encourages children to laugh and play around dying people to desensitize the next generation.

In Brave New World, the author, Aldous Huxley makes many references and allusions to multiple excerpts of Shakespeare’s plays over the entire course of the novel. While he references a lot of Shakespeare’s plays, many quotes come from Romeo and Juliet, The Tempest, and Hamlet.

According to Webster’s New World Dictionary, bravery is “possessing or exhibiting courage or courageous endurance” (Agnes 178). Oftentimes, people are commended for acts of bravery they complete in the heat of a moment or overcoming a life-changing obstacle. Rarely one is commended for simply living a brave life, facing challenges they do not even understand. The characters in the Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World live a peculiar lifestyle demonstrating bravery for just breathing. Although Huxley’s ideas are surfacing today, the dystopia he creates is unrelatable . The genetic make-up of these men and women is different, creating a human lacking basic function of life. In Western Europe an individual forms in a laboratory, “one egg, one embryo, one adult-normality. But a bokanovskified egg will bud, will proliferate, will divide. From eight to ninety-six buds, and every bud will grow into a perfectly formed embryo, and every embryo into a full-sized adult. Making ninety-six human beings grow where only one grew before. Progress” (Huxley 6). The dystopian way of reproduction rarely involves a man impregnating a woman. Huxley’s characters are born in a laboratory. These class divided people are manipulated to be personality less , sex-driven, dumb-downed, assembly line workers. Brainwashing from birth conditions them to go through the motions without doubting their purpose. Government controllers are not looking out for the egg at all, simply manufacturing them to keep the

Aldous Huxley makes an allusion within the text to Shakespeare, "He would have liked to speak; but there were no words. Not even in Shakespeare…"(3) From this and from the previous words in the text I can tell that he is talking about God and how The Savage was in solitude and never heard a word from him even when he had thoughts about suicide and he compared this to Shakespeare a famous poet with many great literary works, on how he wouldn't have nothing to say, no words to help him. And also there is an allusion to one of Shakespeare’s works called “Othello” in one of the replies The Savage gives using the character in Shakespeare’s work as reference. "But don't you remember what Othello said? If after every tempest came such calms, may the winds blow till they have wakened death.… But you don't do either.”(7) Talking about that the society being perfect is something that affects them

In the dystopian novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, a parodic and sardonic tone is often jointly used to describe a futuristic world and its views on reproduction. For example, in a passage found in chapter one, the narrator describes, “Each bottle could be placed on one of fifteen racks, each rack, though you couldn’t see it, was a conveyor travelling at the rate of thirty-three and a third centimetres an hour”. Within this line, imagery is incorporated, allowing readers to visualize the scene. This line integrates a parodic tone as it describes a process of reproduction in which bottles of embryos are placed on a conveyor belt for easy and efficient treatment. From the clear and precise description, readers can allude to Henry Ford’s

In the "Brave New World" of 632 A. F. (After Ford), universal human happiness has been achieved. (Well, almost.) Control of reproduction, genetic engineering, conditioning--especially via repetitive messages delivered during sleep--and a perfect pleasure drug called "Soma" are the cornerstones of the new society. Reproduction has been removed from the womb and placed on the conveyor belt, where reproductive workers tinker with the embryos to produce various grades of human beings, ranging from the super-intelligent Alpha Pluses down to the shorter and dumber semi-moron Epsilons. The story takes place in England where the new society lives. Due to a gigantic biological attack almost all of the world is destroyed

The New World, a man-made Utopia, governed by its motto, Community, Identity, Stability (Huxley 3). A man-made world in every way. Human beings fertilized in bottles. Identity, gender, intelligence, position in society, all predestined. Human beings classified in the order of precedence: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon. Every one conditioned to be a certain way. Every one works for every one else (Huxley, 74). All man-made to ensure social stability. Is society in the New World truly better than in the 2000s? Are people in the New World truly happier than we are in the 2000s? Do we in the 2000s have any thing in common with the New World? Are there significant sociological differences between
