interesting is that I have found no articles written before the 1990’s on the gender issue in Brave New World. This could show how only recently it is becoming apparent to us in our society of a gender bias. Another important thing to note is that not all the critical essays I read were written by women; David Leon Higdon wrote a compelling article which proves that the misogyny and inequality in Brave New World is not something that takes a female feminist activist to point out. I have also read two

The government carefully engineers these conditions‚ creating a society where people are living “happily”‚ but at great cost. In the World State‚ the importance of being an individual means nothing‚ and people are slowly dehumanized. Being an individual in the World State is seen as a negative trait‚ because they have a

In Brave New World‚ by Aldous Huxley the role of race shows that segregation is not born within the subconscious of our minds. It is rather a concept that is bestowed upon our minds. This can be seen in the need to implement hypnopedia in order to create continuous judgment‚ the need to separate Savages from World State‚ and the need to physically and mentally lower a portion of the population so that the feeling of superiority manifests among its leaders. To begin with‚ all the citizens of World

Brave New World Evaluation My overall impression of “Brave New World” presents a combination of emotions. I really enjoyed the novel‚ it was easy to read and understand. However‚ the content came as a shock. This book is much different from what I’m used to reading. Even though the book contained some issues that could cause concern I did not find it offensive. It was not as graphic as some people make it out to be. Written 80 years ago‚ this book appears on the most challenged books list every

Reflection of Brave New World After reading Brave New World I am left with several feelings. I will start with the bad feelings. One feeling that stuck with me was a feeling of disgust. To be honest this book pissed me off. I understand what Huxley is trying to do in this book‚ but why in this fashion? To begin with I hated the plot. The characters‚ the events‚ and the society itself made me furious. I didn’t enjoy the story at all. I thought it was a waste of a beautiful forming plot. The ending
