Now & Then, Then & Now Throughout Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World controversial topics are discussed and compared. Three of many points considered are the roles of women in society, children’s roles in society, and individuality. Women are viewed as objects and do not have as many rights as men. Children are expected to do chores around the house and start work at young ages. Through individuality people can express themselves, but. Whether looking at today’s world or Huxley’s, the roles of women and children in society and individuality are virtually the same. In the 1920s women had few roles in society. Most were housewives and few had jobs. Many women were factory workers, secretaries, salesclerks or telephone operators (source)
