Aldous Huxley’s compelling novel Brave New World depicts a futuristic society in which government deprives people of personal values, knowledge, and individuality. Humans are genetically engineered in mass productions and conditioned to perform specific jobs to establish a utopian society. The government promotes the consumption of soma, the use of technology, and the limitation of knowledge to encourage job efficiency. Bernard Marx, a social outcast, dislikes the way society is run, and he sets himself on a quest to modify it. Through the use of plot, character, and theme, Huxley scrutinizes Bernard’s transformation as he fights the injustices of society. The plot of Brave New World is vulgar.
