Essay on "A BRAVE NEW WORLD" By Aldous Huxley .
"A Brave new world" takes the reader into the future where people are happy, get what they want and never want what they can't get. They"re safe, never ill and are not afraid of death. They have no mothers" fathers" or people to love. Their lives are filled with fun but there are no true feelings or emotions, just superficial enjoyment. Aldous Huxley has written "A Brave new world" to act as a warning. Influenced by Henry Ford's production of the first motor vehicle, Aldous Huxley has a negative vision of the future. He believes that the power of science will kill individuality and imagination and replace it with narrow compartments of fact or stimulated sensation. The morals of "A Brave new world" clash with the morals common in today's society. The values and attitudes that Aldous Huxley has on the people of the future are un-favourable, and are presented to the reader throughout the novel.
One of the methods Aldous Huxley has used in this novel to express his opinion is the use of language. The use of language establishes the tone and provides the emotion for Huxley's attitudes. For example when he describes a scientist, he writes, "Some pallid shape of academic goose flesh". This use of language describes this person as though they were not real, more like an object with no soul. This use of language portrays scientists as bad people, which is Huxley's Point of view. He has described the scientist's gloves as, "A pale corpse coloured rubber". This image represents a death-in-life existence, which is the main attitude towards conditioning. Although the children are alive their minds and individuality are gone, dead. This use of language influences the reader to adopt a negative attitude towards conditioning which is the same attitude held by the author. .
Another use of language evident in this novel is used to describe the characters. The citizens of "Brave new world" are classed in the society.
