Brave New World :: essays research papers

I wrote this paper in my english class after reading A Brave New WorldOn the very digest page of Aldous Huxleys book, A Brave New World, he describes stool as swinging slowly in circles after hanging himself (Huxley 259). Its believed that Huxleys main point of this ending to his story was to tell his readers that after all Johns effort of trying to change the brave new world, it was deep hopeless and the only thing left to do was to give up. This image creates a belief that Huxley was trying to warn his readers that the future was going to hold a extreme amount of advance technology in cognition, that would eventually turn into a dystopian world. When Huxley stresses the high amount of sex/drug usage and teach in his book, it was to show that these are highly used to help people live in a better society. The scary part is that most of Aldous Huxleys predictions on the future were closely factual.Although Huxley wrote many forms of literature, they all held the common theme of meaning and possibilities of human life and perception (Huxley 260). After the disease Huxley received when he was 16 years old that ended his dream of becoming a doctor, he also remained essentially scientific in his literature. Julian Huxley, Aldous Huxleys brother, believed that science and mysticism were overlapping and complementary realms in Aldous Huxleys mind (Huxley 262). This explains where Huxley came up with the idea of Hatcheries and Conditioning. Which was an excellent way he began his book in a Utopian world.The first chapter in A Brave New World starts out with the director and his assistant giving a tour to a group of boys of the hachure and Conditioning Centre (Huxley 3). At the centre is where the boys learn all about the Bokanovsky process and how theyre conditioned into five different caste. The director then explains that this instruct helps each person love what caste they are conditioned into, whether they become leaders or factory workers. Later, when Mus tapha Mond and John Savage discuss the outcomes of conditioning, John expresses that he disagrees with it all. John explains how conditioning only manipulates peoples minds and how it takes away their right to make their own decisions ( Pradas par 11). In a way, Huxley speaks out a lot through Johns character in this chapter.
