Aldous Huxley in his dystopian literature illustrates a disturbing tapestry of an abnormal society that reproduces identical human beings, through factories using powerful technology that is taken to another level. Brave New World, published in 1931, by Aldous Huxley organizes a World State where happiness is found through the use of drugs and a vast reproduction of “perfect” human beings with the use of technology. “Perfect” human beings are designed in factories and are under the control of the drug soma, which creates a form of happiness that is only temporary.

For instance, Huxley writes about the thought of having humans being duplicated in factories, to emphasize the problem in society. Aldous Huxley expresses, “One egg, one embryo, one adult -normality. But a bokanvskified egg will bud… form eight to ninety-six buds… will grow into perfect embryos… into full-sized adults where only one grew before. Progress” (Huxley 6). This passage suggests that duplicating others is being done in a horrific way to control the growing population. Another example is when Huxley creates a society for readers that includes mental images of a “perfect” World State. In the Department of English Language and Literature, Bilal Tawfiq Hamamra says, “Children are not born out of sexual intercourse between a couple, but they are scientifically manufactured in the same manner Henry Ford manufactured model T cars” (Hammara 1). This evidence suggests that children in the World State are made like a model T car, by having an assembly line to create a “perfect” human beings. Lastly, Brave New World constructs sensory details to illustrate how humans are like animals in an abnormal society. Aldous Huxley also says, “Turned into a savage,” she shouted. “Having young ones like an animal… if it hadn’t been for you… I might have got away. But not with baby. That would have been too shameful” (Huxley 127). This example suggests that …show more content…
In this situation, Huxley writes about a foil character which is found through Bernard to convey the reader of the other character, John. Spark Notes states, “John is a misfit… dream[s] of living in a World State… Bernard is a misfit… looking for a way to fit in. (SparkNotes Editors). This evidence suggests that both characters can relate to not fitting in this perfectly formed society. Another example of character types is dynamic, which can be found through Bernard and how he undergoes change with what is abnormal. Spark Notes also expresses, “The director declares Bernard “heretical” because he refuses to behave like an infant and not immediately seek to gratify his own desires” (SparkNotes Editors). This passage suggests that Bernard realizes that the World State is not a perfect place and is abnormal. In brief, John illustrates a round character by adjusting from an uncivilized to a civilized world. Elke Brown briefly states, “John is eager to see the World State… however the principles of the World State and the way in which they are enforced disgust him.” (Elke). This evidence suggests that the World State isn’t always what he thought it was and it disgusts him how savages are treated in this perfect world. All and all, Huxley’s purpose of these character types was to find the true feeling of what is to feel misfit even in a
