Literature – as any bookworm would say – is not simply the art of writing. Literature is the Rembrandt of story, the Einstein of language and the Clint Eastwood of action. Literature is not just a story: literature is a big story. One of the most powerful traits of great literature is its applicability to the reader's life. This quality is what sets Aldus Huxley's Brave New World apart from many others: the applicability to human society – in the past, present and future. A great writer can write the perfect story, exhibiting impeccable grammar, vocabulary, and writing mechanics, but that story may not be literature. The title “literature” is only given to a few selected stories, including Brave New World by Aldus Huxley. The ingenious omniscient and neutral narrator allows the reader a view from each character's point of view. Huxley's ingenious mastery of the English language and futuristic vision make Brave New World a true work of literature. In Brave New World, Huxley uses dystopian society to show many of the dysfunctions and hypocrisies present in every era, from the 1930s to the present day. The use of genetic engineering, the social class system, and the religious system in Brave New World reflect many of the problems in society today – eighty years after Brave New World was first published. Huxley's predictions about the future and how modern society can learn from Huxley's eighty-year-old visions in the novel Brave New World by Aldus Huxley partly explain why Brave New World is a masterpiece. of works of literature. The biological processes of life have developed at an astonishing rate. In 1856, an Australian monk and scientist, Gregor Mendel, was fascinated by the new study... in the middle of an article... and in distress, she always had Soma to turn to. From an outside perspective, Lenina appears to have little control over the world around her, due to her dependence on Soma. The big question posed by Aldus Huxley is: who is closer to self-realization, John the Savage or Lenina Crowne? Works Cited American Public Media. Public radio work. APM, 2012. Web.
