A Brave New World Quote Analysis

Brave New World

In Aldous Huxley’s novel “Brave New World” he touches on both external and internal forces of what is to believe to be a functioning utopia. According to John Stuart Mill utilitarianism is causing happiness through pleasure and absence of pain. Ultimately the concept of utilitarianism is considered to be a branch of ethics that tries to define the best course of action to take when a negative or positive action is confronted. Aldous Huxleys also provides a clear picture of events through Bernard Marx who is the primary character in “Brave New World” up until his visit with Lenina to the Reservation, after that point he fades into the background and John becomes the central protagonist. Throughout the novel John is faced with

Over the main entrance the words, CENTRAL LONDON HATCHERY AND CONDITIONING CENTRE, and, in a shield, the World State's motto, COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY."(Aldous Huxley pg 1). The motto of the brave new world gives a stable sense at community where everyone is equal but the only catch is, to belong in this world you must give up emotion and

history.

Further more, The theme identity was illuminated when John the savage was born ultimately making him only person in the brave new world born naturally of a mother, John represents a unique human being in the novel, with an identity and a family relationship unlike any other character. John knew he was different from others because he neglected the value of the world state, John the savage portrayed values of love whitch made people be reminded of history. The head masters of the "world state"neglected John because they knew he was different and treated him unfairly."Her lips moved. "Popé!" she whispered again, and it was as though he had had a pailful of ordure thrown in his face.Anger suddenly boiled up in him. Balked for the second time, the passion of his grief had found another outlet, was transformed into a passion of agonized rage."But I'm John!" he shouted. "I'm John!" And in his furious misery he actually caught her by the shoulder and shook her. (Aldous Huxley 45) I beleive this quote symbolizes the effect that emotions have on human beings. the novel also highlights the natural desire to sequester those who are
