I. SUBJECTBrave New World by Aldous Huxley is a satire about a utopian society where all people are divided by class and raised to do the work that is required of that class. He opened up about the process of this breeding, called conditioning, at the hatching and conditioning center in central London. The hatchery director was showing a group of boys around, explaining to them the process of sleep teaching, that is, how morals and principles were implanted in children's brains. The story shifted to Lenina Crowne and Bernard Marx, when Lenina admitted to a friend that she was attracted to Bernard. Bernard, who was rather short and weak for his class, asked Lenina if she wanted to accompany him to a wilderness preserve, a place where failed humans are sent to be studied. When Bernard asked the director for a permit, the director told him about a woman who was lost and never found. After leaving for the reserves, Bernard learned from a friend that the director was considering exiling him for lack of sociability. At the reserve, Lenina and Bernard met Linda, who Bernard realized was the woman the warden had visited the reserve with, and her son, John. Since John wishes to visit the “brave new world” that his mother had told him about, Bernard receives permission to bring John and Linda back with him. John became disturbed after visiting the school and factories. When the director comes to exile Bernard, the latter reveals that John is the former's son, which causes the director's resignation. John went to the country. Onlookers followed him and wanted John to whip himself. Chaos ensued and the next morning John hanged himself for conforming to the disruptive society.II. THEMEThe theme of ...... middle of paper ......are carried to their intensely unpleasant climaxes” (Harmon 171). In the novel, the negative qualities of today's society are accentuated and worsened, such as consumerism and prejudice. Traits that we would find horrifying today but might yet become possible are also appearing, for example the production of human embryos by mechanical means. A subgenre of the novel is satire. The definition of satirical genre is: “A work or manner that blends an attitude of censorship with humor and wit to improve human institutions or humanity” (46). At the time the novel was written, most of the traits society represented were completely unimaginable, but today they are considered completely possible and completely undesirable. Huxley clearly predicted the outcome of today's society, and today the novel is less a satire than a negative prediction of what is to come..
