machines, but there is still belief. In the book Huxley uses allusions such as using Ford instead of God. Huxley put religion into the book but he didn’t specifically say God or religion. Instead of church the people would go to things called a “soma orgy.” Huxley puts in words in replace of something religion to show that there may still be religion in the Brave New World, but that it has changed into drug holidays and worshiping their world leaders instead of a God. He is trying to prove…

This happiness is somewhat artificial, but this makes no difference. The vast majority of the population lives in a euphoric bliss, as stated by Henry Foster in his conversation with Lenina while flying to the orgy. ”There’s only one thing we can be certain of… he was happy when he was alive. Everyone is happy now”(Huxley 62). Through restraint of human nature, the World State has accomplished constant happiness. This happiness has resulted in a number of other…

And after he had passed, “the Persians had him flayed, dying the skin a deep red color and stuffing it with hay.” (p. 2). When Constantine the Great assumed the throne under a Christian banner, he banned pagan practices such as sacrifice, ritual orgies, and sacred prostitution (p. 17). Needless to say, the last two activities do not need to be in a child’s vocabulary. This book should only be recommended to high school students and onwards. The author did a magnificent job at accomplishing his…

Although many try to blend in with the rest of the population, the few who break away and think with eccentricity stand out and make a change. In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, Bernard Marx, John the Savage, and Helmholtz Watson all use their knowledge and ability to be an individual in order to understand freedom and escape from average society and community. Bernard is very important in the plot of the story because he is the one who first openly shows individuality and freedom, and…

choice. As we take into account our ability to question the beliefs of our elders, rebel against their attempts to force that belief upon us and be open to the endless possibilities that lie forth. The Brave New World is a very sexual world with orgies in place of church. While we haven’t gone as far as to say “everyone belongs to everyone else”, we have definitely become more open to sexuality. This is a good thing however, because sex…

The tone is represented by the words used to describe Paris and the thoughts of the lawyer’s wife. One of the dominating elements that contribute to the tone is when the lawyer’s wife expresses her feelings of her daily routine.
