Satire In Brave New World

"Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley is a dystopian novel that presents a future society where technological advancements have created a world of comfort and pleasure, but at the cost of individuality and freedom. In the book, the author presents satirical ideas and events paired with true thoughts and morals along with important themes that need to be learned throughout one's lifetime.

But as you move on throughout the novel you can see some people get roped into the use of it and it relates to the world today and in the past as well. The author used the idea of bringing in someone from the reservation to show the importance of how drugs can impact someone who doesn't use them when entering an environment where it is accepted. This can be related to moving to a new area, joining a new group, going to a new school, etc. Yet these scenarios always end up with a pattern of drug use and it’s never good. “ Stupefied by the soma, and exhausted by a long-drawn frenzy of sensuality, the Savage lay sleeping in the heather…… “Oh my god, my God!” He covered his eyes with his hand.” (pages 258-259 chapter 18) In the quote, John the Savage has realized what he had done under the influence of the Soma and this led to his death by suicide. But before this incident, he had created self-isolation and punishment and had been trying to purify himself in order to get rid of these ideas and things that the civilized minds had led him into, and was being tortured by his own mind. Nearing the end he asked for God to help him, thought about his mother and family, and realized that at the end of his life, those were the things he
