Critical Essay - Brave New World
"Brave New World," written by Aldous Huxley, is a literary work that is able to portray a society built on happiness but did not have individuality. The reason behind this is that it is a novel with which the reader can identify. Every individual values his own being, so the lack of individuality in the novel makes the reader fear this society. This society is one built upon values that could not be accepted in this day and age. Imagine a society where the needs of an individual are not catered to, a society in which everyone belongs to everyone else, a society where the controllers distribute a drug to make the individual lose feeling. This would never be accepted by people now or 70 years ago, when the novel was written. With an idea so original and unique, Huxley is able to attract the reader's attention. The reader is able to look at the characters and see themselves as one of them and feel what they are feeling. Lack of strong individual emotions is a key aspect of this novel.
