In Brave New World, there is a sense of freedom that Aldous Huxely writes about. The society in the novel are expected to date more than one person at a time. They have a type of freedom where they can go wherever they want with whomever they choose. In chapter 6, Bernard Marx and Lenina Crowne have an engaging conversation about freedom.

Soma puts people in a hypnotic cycle where they don't feel as though they should ask questions about what is right or wrong, how the society is created.

Huxely differentiates this ideal theory. Instead of being faithful to one person, people in the new world society are expected to “see” more than one person at a time.

The dystopia is not built of those ideas. Personal relationships are meant to work in the novel. The people who built Brave New World the way it is, they don’t want the civilized people to think for themselves. They don’t accept “books and flowers” for an important particular reason. If you don’t want people to think for themselves, you don’t want the idea of having arts around.
