Recommended: Aldus Huxley's Brave New World

The Brave New World is focused on running the world like a well-oiled machine. Everyone has a specific job that if not done properly, will lead to a failed society. Just like a machine, there cannot be any flaws. Technology plays a huge role in keeping the Brave New World running smoothly. There is no longer a need for people to have children, people are no longer plagued with disease, and everyone thinks alike. Today’s society is not far from a Brave New World type of society.

For example, in chapter 16 of Brave New World, Mond is talking to John about why shakespeare is forbidden in their society. He mentions how in a society full of consumers, everything must always be new to keep the people buying, so they have to get rid of things that would be popular for a while like good books or beautiful art.

Aldous Huxley depicts a world in which there seems to be huge advancements in technology. In it includes new ways of teaching, and easier ways of reproduction. The “Bokanovsky Process,” as they call it, can make a total of ninety six viable fetuses from a single egg.

Everything appears to be much more straightforward and equal, but it is nowhere near the truth.

Hobbes believed that humans are inherently flawed, and will naturally create anarchy amongst themselves due to their nature. In the novel Brave New World written by Aldous Huxley in 1931, the world controller of the state, Mustapha Mond, manifests this idea through the rhetorical question, "What 's the point of truth or beauty of knowledge when the anthrax bombs are popping all around you"(Huxley 228)? As science was explored unrestrictedly, citizens of the World State began to fight each other. Although Mond 's argument ultimately leads to the sacrifice of

Rationale In order to demonstrate a wider range of comprehension of the novel “A Brave New World”, I decided to write a diary about Bernard’s position throughout the novel, which shows a carping yet courageous voice that demands to be heard. Nevertheless, his desires change as power and prestige comes to him, creating an inner conflict on the character. Considering Bernard´s reality as an Alpha individual, it is noticeable that a formal and intellectual tone prevails as the diary entry develops, and intends to approach critical readers whose interests lie on exploring Bernard´s personality.

Growing up my mother told me stories about how the world used to be different. The people were good the world was good. Earth apparently was this wonderful place with beautiful cities, where the buildings were made of glass and looked as if they were part of the sky.

Mother had cities made of glass I have cities of rubble and abound building all a faint memory of what used to be.
