Brave New World Lenina Analysis
The point that Huxley is making in this seen is how something new and unknown to you and your ways might come off as uncivilized. Although they do have homes and mean of climbing to get to those houses. From the beginning Lenina is not excited. She begins to pick at basic things that the savages don't do but what Bernard and Lenina were trained to do.
"Besides he smells" pg 103.
Huxley salsa points out how leinina was ignored, by these savages something that she is not used to " the men drew nearer their dark eyes looked at her but without giving any sign of recognition ant small sign that they had see. Or was aware of her existence" pg 105 Lenina followed this by saying "I don't like it" twice.
Civilization is also based on your living

    The argument that Huxley's is making for being an outsider in this chapter is that being unhappy doesn't mean that you have to take some medication to cure your unhappiness, seeing different things at seem wrong just because you come from a different living style. For example, on page 118 "stuff in the gourd was called mescal... Ought to be called soma", which meant the same thing that it takes the pain, loneliness away for a moment, yet it was a medication that was required where Bernard and Lenina come from was so that unhappiness doesn't get in the way, feel pain, or also have emotions. Huxley is also arguing that Bernard is the one that doesn't take soma, that he's feeling alone, which its stating on page 128 "so am I" and he believes…

    During the turbulent years in which Lenin had passed, his significance still continued to dominate Russian politics. One clear example of this was his funeral as party members were afraid to read his testimony as it would make themselves look unpopular. This showed that even in death, Lenin’s words still held weight making him extremely significant. Furthermore, many of Lenin’s early policies such as his feminist policies continued to persist through Stalin’s administration as the USSR was the first country to have female pilots and female snipers. Lastly, we can see similarities in both Lenin and Stalin’s policies. For example, Stalin had copied some of Lenin’s “War Communism” as Stalin’s “Collectivization” advocated requisitioning of grain.…

    Huxley compares the uniformity within society by demonstrating the various forms it can take. Whether it’s a religious solidarity experience or their “physico-chemically” equality in death, Chapter 5 brings both forms together between its two parts. During the solidarity ritual, despite the intention of each individual losing their identities to become part of a larger being, Bernard focuses on Morgana’s eyebrow, differentiating her from the rest of the group. By isolating unique traits, he portrays his uniqueness from the others using their lack of interest in individual discrepancies. Likewise, when observing the smokestacks Henry could not help but wonder who each person was when they are alive. Henry’s interest prevailed. Regardless of…

    To stand up to everyone else and maintain ones character is never easy and can often be dangerous. To go against everyones views and opinions, especially when no one shares the same views as you can be very daunting. In the book ‘Brave New World’, the author Aldous Huxley showed that it is very difficult to stand up and be an individual. He did this through his character, the Savage. The Savage was very different to the typical citizens of the brave new world. Unlike them, he was born from a mother and he grew up in a similar way to that of someone in todays world. When he goes to the brave new world, it is obvious his views are not shared. He is seen as askew, misguided, defective, an outsider. In a completely new world, a place he’s never been in, the Savage ultimately struggles to maintain his individualism. His ethics and beliefs have never been challenged like this before. A major challenge he faced upon arriving at the brave new world is Lenina. Upon getting to know her he started to fall in love with her. Due to the way he was brought up, he doesn’t just want to have has sexual desires fulfilled, he wants a relationship with her. Lenina on the other hand doesn’t believe in relationships as that is the case in the brave new world. She has also grown fond of the Savage, but unlike…

    Huxley is able to describe his character’s rough transition by contrasting John’s own beliefs and morals from those of the World States’. Though they have similar ideas on this “perfected” society and are considered to be outsiders by their peers, John the Savage is ultimately the opposite of Bernard Marx, an idealist who only thinks about being rebellious since he is not quite like his fellow Alphas and he is constantly reminded of such. John, on the other hand,…

    His Fordship uses the innovative technology as a distraction, so his “perfectly” conditioned specimens obtain the ability to generate the illusion of a seemingly flawless and stable society. Lenina said, “’But it 's horrible,’… She was appalled by the rushing emptiness of the night… ‘Let 's turn on the radio. Quick!’… ‘Skies are blue inside of you,’ sang sixteen tremoloing falsettos’” (Huxley 90). The radio coincidentally plays that song as Bernard shows Lenina the bad storm stirring up on the English Channel. Technology covers the unpleasant parts of reality; consequently, the citizens become feeble and unaware to the genuine nature of life. Later in the novel, Lenina goes to the “GIRLS ' DRESSING-ROOM … Torrents of hot water… eighty vibro-vacuum massage machines were simultaneously kneading and sucking the firm and sunburnt flesh of eighty superb female specimens… a machine was warbling out a super-cornet solo.” (36). These perks of a technological age shields the horrendous side effects of actually having advanced technology. Daily activities are much easier; one does not struggle in order to achieve what is needed. The ease within this life disguises the truth that lies behind it: “ 'tis better in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune [rather than] abolish the slings and arrows’” (238). Technology distracts the citizens from the non- pleasant reality; they do not understand…

    Throughout European history, there has been a trend towards romanticizing the agrarian lifestyle. From the whitewashing of folktales to Stalin-era propaganda musicals, the idealized peasantry are presented as harmonious, cheerful, and cooperative. This view was especially prevalent in imperial Russia at the end of the 19th century, with many writers believing that the Russian peasantry’s “cooperative and communitarian” nature would serve as a model for a future socialist Russia (xv). In an attempt to correct this “naive” view, the Russian ethnographer Olga Semyonova Tian-Shanskaia spent four years observing several villages around her home estate, chiefly the village of…

    This can be a good thing because it helps one get to know themselves apart from the social body. Bernard is frustrated that he cannot “enlighten” Lenina. Lenina, like everyone else in the World State Society, from birth, has been taught the “everyone belongs to everyone else” and that individuality is wrong. Bernard wishes that his society was more individual and that people did not have to “belong to everyone else”. By trying to make Lenina understand why “not [being] so completely a part of something else” (90) is important to him, in a way Bernard is trying to have Lenina abandon what she has been taught. By the end of this scene, Bernard sorely realizes that he cannot teach her to see how individualism has some positive aspects to it. “Everyone belongs to everyone else” is a fundamental doctrine of their society and has always had a negative correspondence, and thus, Bernard gives up even trying to change her and show her how individuality could be positive because of the fact that this teaching has been engrained her in…
