Brave New World (Bridge) by Aldous
Huxley
About Huxley...
Community, Identity, Stability is the motto of Aldous Huxleys utopian
World State. Here everyone consumes daily grams of soma, to fight
depression, babies are born in laboratories, and the most popular form of
entertainment is a Feelie, a movie that stimulates the senses of sight,
hearing, and touch. Though there is no violence and everyone is provided
for, Bernard Marx feels something is missing and senses his relationship
with a young women has the potential to be much more than the confines
of their existence allow. Huxley foreshadowed many of the practices and
gadgets we take for granted today--lets hope the sterility and absence of
individuality he predicted arent yet to come.
Personal Review: Brave New World (Bridge) by Aldous Huxley
Brave New World is one of the greatest fiction novels of all-time. Aldous
Huxley was an extraordinary writer, a genius and a visionary. For my
review contribution, I have decided to include excerpts from an essay I
wrote as an undergraduate pertaining to the theme of Brave New World:
Aldous Huxley's Brave New World is a thought-provoking vision of the
bleak future that may await mankind if it continues to pursue the utopian
society. The epigraph of the novel by Nicolas Berdiaeff states that a
nonutopian society is "less perfect and more free." This is a sentiment
which is echoed by Huxley throughout his great masterpiece. Huxley's
novel is a call to both reason and emotion, or in other words, a call to
humanity, against the quest for a "perfect society." If one only looks on the
surface of the society portrayed in Brave New World, it is actually not hard
to come up with ways in which to justify it: There is no disease, no war,
and no famine, and everybody's happy. But if one takes a deeper look, a
great gaping void of nothingness can be beheld. The guarantee of a life of
shallow happiness has been paid for with the removal of anything in the
human soul that has any depth to it whatsoever--
individuality, passion, creativity, knowledge--all have been thrown away
like unsalvageable garbage.
