Integrity In Brave New World

A Fabricated Familiarity

Sterile and isolated, yet some organization of life remains in the civilization of Brave New World. While there are living beings, life could not be considered “normal,” with humanity as in today's world. There isn't emotion or the necessary biological functions in the society. A cold presence takes the place of compassion, love, and natural human characteristic. The society is introduced with many descriptions of technology, depicting all the science that is necessary to inaccurately replace human reality. Much like society today, technology is depended on and often replaces mankind. Computers replace human thought and caring in businesses, and the novel reflects the utter trust the citizens have placed in technology

Huxley reveals his characters to be metal parts in a makeshift societal machine. They are built from an assembly line with no real life or activity progressing their lives (Meckier 427). The citizens are often described, by themselves or Huxley, as machine-like figures. Huxley chooses words such as “planetary” and “indefatigable” to illustrate the total dependency on science and its relentlessness (Huxley 57). These words also describe a sexual experience in the novel, which is made technological instead of emotional. The lacking shows that there are no connections between the citizens. Certainly, the diction present in Brave New World is enhanced by the fabricated imagery throughout the novel. The citizens have become one with technology, losing anything that could represent a true human being. Their society becomes technologically overrun, taking away all that gives human life. They can not see what damage they do by not instituting reality and human condition. By taking emotion away, the citizens become little more than machines. Likewise, the lack of emotion results in the society not being able to experience friendship, desires, or mistakes – all of the items provided by human condition – leading to a stale society being snuffed out from no change. Notably, Bernard has an experience that should leave him satisfied and excited, but instead he feels “miserably isolated” and has a “dead satiety” (Huxley 57). These examples provide the thought that scientifically advanced persons may be excluded from society. In Brave New World, the entire society is advanced, excluding them from one another. Instead of using terms to describe natural processes in the non-fictional human life, synthetic terms are put in place by the novel. The human condition is completely replaced by science and false ideas in Brave New World. The society cannot function without technology
