My first example of Soma is still valuable today as many individuals continue to partake in substances in order to heighten their reality. Many drug users are users because they want to escape the downs of life. The downs of life come natural to all, we all have a different way of coping with these situations; however, I believe there are always a better outcome then substances. One key difference between our modern world and the society in Brave New World is our world does not set us up for…

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go both portray dystopian societies and seem to deal with the question of what it means to be human. In Never Let Me Go, a group of friends grow up at a seemingly idyllic and peaceful boarding school in England. Once they leave, they discover the cruel purpose of their existence, which threatens their relationships. Brave New World depicts a society where human life is almost completely industrialized, and humans are created…

Brave New World is a fascinating book that gives us a particular perspective of life as we know it. Brave New World was written by Aldous Huxley, was Aldous Huxley’s intent too far ahead of his time or was he just simply out of his own mind. For instance, BNW (Brave New World) shows us the way humans are treated and their wealth and ranks in this community. Alongside wealth, ranks, and fairness; this essay will interpret the way humans amongst this book are treated, analyzed, and represented.…

is a factory, people aren’t born but created and conditioned to act through hatcheries. “‘For in nature it takes thirty years for two hundred years to reach maturity. But our business is to stabilize the population at this moment, here and now…’” (Huxley). The people in these hatcheries also speak of the embryos as scientific numbers and experiments instead of people. That being said, life in…

In the film The New World you could clearly say that one could relate it to the writings of Captain John Smith since he is one of the main characters of the movie. Although I believe John Smith was portrayed less arrogantly in the movie than in his journals, we didn’t learn any new information about him in the film. Two major themes throughout the movie that connect with what we have been learning about in class are nature and the sense of community. The use of creating a sense of beauty was…

Modern day society is filled with people who suffer from violence, disease, and pain yet, they overcome it to receive the reward of love, joy, and happiness. The science fiction novel, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley depicts a technologically advanced society where humans are genetically bred, socially brainwashed, and extremely drugged to uphold the society--all at the cost for one's freedom, humanity, and soul. They end violence disease, and pain in exchange for all the good things in life.…

In the novel Brave New World, there are five different castes that clarify how people live, what they wear, and how they act. The group that this soma ad is targeting is the Epsilon group, which is the lowest caste. The Epsilons wear black, are short, and aren’t good looking or smart. They do what they’re told and are happy with what they have. They like their caste, and although the Alpha caste seems better, they would never dream of switching to that caste. In the book Lenina is talking to…

“Brave New World” by Aldes Huxley depicts the possibly grim future that has yet to occur in, which the World State gains absolute control over powerful technologies. This controls the behaviours and actions of its people in order to preserve its own stability and power. This was achieved through the clever use of genetic engineering; brainwashing; recreational sex; and drugs. At the beginning of the story, all of the members of the World State are seen as mindless and emotionless, happy…

In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley, the theme of exile is often illustrated. When literary theorist Edward Said wrote that exile is a potent and enriching time, I did not fully understand what he meant until I read Brave New World. To be exiled is to be shut out from your birthplace and home. Not only being removed physically but emotionally and mentally as well. However, in Bernard's case, he experiences exile without being removed from his home. He feels extremely different than everyone else,…

In Brave New World, in Huxley’s made up utopian society, the World State, does have stability. But, it is at a cost. The people living in the World State think that they have to do their exact part and and everything that they are told just to keep a functioning society. The people are not allowed to have any type of individuality. Everybody is just like the next person. They are placed into classes from birth and are given a job just to make sure that the community is stable. But, the people…
