"Brave New World" (book review and my own interpretation) - Adrian / someoneprofessional
Brave New World is a thought-provoking dystopian masterpiece novel written by the author Adolus Huxley. It is set in a futuristic world where technology and genetic engineering have created an arranged society.
In the World state, society is divided into different groups, there are Betas, Alphas, Gammas and Epsidons. The people are conditioned from birth to fit into their predetermined classes by being fed different hormones and chemicals. This happens in a Conditioning Centre where children are created outside the womb and cloned for the purpose of increasing the global population.
In this society, emotions are conditioned out of children at a young age, and there are no lasting relationships because “everyone belongs to everyone else” which is a common phrase used by the “World State”.
The novel follows the lives Bernard Marx, an outsider who questions Society’s norms, and Lenina Crowne a beautiful Beta woman who works as a nurse. The visit a so called Savage reservation which is an area untouched by the worlds States Ideology and Technology, where they meet a guy named John, a savage who was born naturally from the womb of a woman from the World State.
Johns’ presence disrupts the ordered world state, and his struggle to restore his traditional “savage” values with the highly controlled society surrounding him forms the central theme of this novel. As the story continues, it explores things such as freedom, independence, and the dehumanization of a greatly technologically driven world.
Huxley’s writing is very thoroughly detailed. Personally, I had a hard time understanding a few chapters because of the difficult words and because scenes happened to switch almost every second which made me confused and lost. I would not recommend this book to anyone, but to those who are experienced readers and interested in dystopian novels.
I interpret the message of this book as a critique of a society that sacrifices one’s individuality and freedom in exchange for something “better” like happiness and stability.
“Brave New World” is an accurate description of what our future might look like considering this book was written in between World War one and World War two. This novel is a reminder that we should value what makes us human.
I was greatly influenced by the novels take on dystopia, which forced me to ponder on various themes like poverty, happiness, and sadness. I think my questions were provided as the novel unfolded.
I believe that the “Brave New World” is a warning about the dangers of sacrificing individual freedom and emotions in the pursuit of a stable and controlled world. It raises questions about the of progress and the potential dehumanization. This novel serves as a cautionary tale about the loss of human values and independence in the face of a highly conformist and controlled society.
In Conclusion, “Brave New World” remains a powerful and mind-tickling work of literature that challenges us to examine the choices we make in shaping our society and even in out own lives. Huxley’s warning about the dangers of sacrificing individuality, independence, and emotions for the sake of happiness is relevant today. It serves as a timeless reminder to value the qualities that makes us human.
