Brave New World
...er in the Senility Ward. The people of this perfect society have been conditioned to accept death as only an aged heart and brain. The appearance of death to them is much more youthful than that of the ugly and flabby Linda. In this Utopian society death is merely a concept that is taught through repetitive conditioning not a reality. In addition, As the nurse watches John at bedside, she cannot understand his uncommon grief and is shocked at his use of the word "mother." The inhabitants do not understand the emotional bond to a “mother” figure. Therefore, this lack of emotional wellbeing and comfort is sacrificed for stability and happiness of a perfect society. The distortions of human relationships experienced throughout the novel become based on the lack of human morality. Huxley also uses distortion as a way “to make people see” that in his modern world the importance of human values and dignity become insignificant. For example, the children of this society are not born naturally but produced in an embryo factory. The ideal citizen disregards the natural given right of birth by taking all forms of contraceptives. This government explores the most common dilemma between science and religion. Furthermore, this new world is run efficiently by science. It’s a place where humans survive through wants and without misery in a life of culture and spirituality. The society is caught up in being happy that they are willing to sacrifice what is real. The society, as a whole, is not conditioned to know the truth of what is real. In addition, this novel revolves around the moral decay of modern life. In the eyes of science and technology, a society of this sort is considered perfect. A world without values, concern, or real stability and happiness depicts the symbolism of the new world. The desperation of creating a perfect society leads a life of unoriginal identities. The most powerful distortion in Brave New World is found in Huxley’s attempt to illustrate the lack of human individuality ion today’s society. For example, all the different members of each class, from the Alphas to the Epsilons, have a specific style of clothing, lifestyle, and routine. Everyone in this society is alike and no one person is unique. Individuality becomes scarce in a society where everything is controlled. Furthermore, “Brave New World is the advancement of science as it affects human individuals." The individuals of this fictitious society are conditioned to not have emotions, feelings, and individual ideas. In order to have a perfect society, Huxley believes everyone should have the same thoughts and not be exposed to violence or independence. Utopianism sacrifices the natural rights of freedom, i...
