Aldous Huxley

I believe it is interesting when Linda is brought back into the director's life. In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, the foundation of the World State is built upon the idea of promiscuity and sexual freedom.

John sits by the side of his dying mother while she is observed by a group of children who are being “death-conditioned”. They are “astonished” yet “alarmed” by her “distorted senility”, as the erasure of nature in the new world prevents them from witnessing “a face like hers”—one that is not “youthful” or “taut-skinned”.

In Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World, one of the central ideas is the idea of eternal happiness. This is shown many times throughout the novel, and as the story progresses the idea goes from one that seems inherent to those inhabiting the world of the novel, to one that is clearly strictly enforced and required to keep. One time in which this requirement of happiness is shown is during John’s protest of the modern world and, particularly, of soma. When he begins throwing soma out of an open…
