Education_ (Boston University) 180.3 (1998): 57-66. In "Brave New World"‚ Aldous Huxley ’s increasingly significant orgy satire‚ he depicted the works of Shakespeare as the last repository of humanity (Aeschliman 57). Today self-reliance in the world of market capitalism has made human decency weaken (59). For Shakespeare this world of ’self-reliant ’ relativism and antinomian ’enlightenment ’ was lethal. As Aldous Huxley discerned‚ and showed in "Brave New World"‚ Shakespeare hated the world of liberated

and those rule it‚ and how to achieve it‚ but nobody can agree on one specific utopian concept. Human nature is at its best volatile‚ and society is the accumulation of this human nature applied to a large group of people. In Brave New World‚ Aldous Huxley depicts a civilization where problems can be expunged from society if personal freedom is eliminated. With a homogenized religion dealing with drugs and sex forced upon the citizens‚ their human nature is simplified into a pure and stable being. It

‘’An Marxist study of Brave New World by Aldous Huxley” Alisha Ghosh QD Leavis’ essay mentions a statistic‚ “The investigation made in 1924 into the stocks and issues of urban libraries revealed that while they had 63% of non-fiction works on an average to 37% of fiction‚ only 22% of non-fiction is issued in comparison 78% of fiction.” This clearly ascertains the fact that a commodity that is in demand at a particular point of time is determined by the class or group that is ‘ruling’ or is in

I think Huxley shows that fathers need to be respectful and inspiring to their kids. On page 125‚ when John stabbed his step father‚ he didn’t flinch from the pain. I think this shows a father as being strong and inspirational because earlier in chapter six‚ John was wanting to prove his strength. I think that his father has inspired him to become strong and respectable in the tribe even though he is considered an outsider. Another trait his step father‚ Popé‚ showed was control. Also on page

The Postman Always Rings Twice as Film Noir Tony Garnett’s The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946) seems a quintessential film noir. The title suggests a fateful conclusion for the two main characters—a flawed drifter named Frank (John Garfield) and his restless female conspirator‚ Cora (Lana Turner). Garnett’s crime drama is crafted with the stylish devices usually characteristic of the film noir genre—low-key lighting; a flawed‚ inept hero; and an archetypal femme fatale. Certain
