Brave New World
(Aldous Huxley)
Brave New World is a wonderful read for curious minds. The book is about a new world where drugs, sex, and robotics come alive and "controlled" by the government. The caste system in this book separates everyone living in this world. The government is a dictatorship requiring Alphas, Betas, etc, to embrace their own and leaving the outsiders alone. The memorable characters are D.H.C. who is the director of the hatchery. Mustapha Mond is a resident controller of Western Europe; one of the world controllers who lectures the students on the past and present of earth. Mond is a very important character because of his views of ethics. Bernard Marx is Alpha plus who is a vertically challenged successful psychologist. His role is of an outcast because of his inferiority to others. Lenina Crowne is a desirable woman who tries to persuade Marx to take her to the reservation. Marx and Lenina are very close to one another. Through out the book they are doing drugs, and she is always undressing. Lenina undressing becomes frequent among other men because it is normal for her to behave this way. Fanny Crowne is a friend of Lenina who pressures her to be more traditionally promiscuous. They behave like Lucy and Ethel, and are very entertaining though out the book. Benito Hoover is the drugdealer with a pure heart of good intentions. Instead of needles and pills the drugs he offered are sex-hormone chewing gum. John, the Savage is the crazed man who attacks the facility, and the people inside. Freedom is ability for everyone to do drugs and have sex, and do the jobs they were grown to do in this world. The novel is very deep, very gloomy, and very scienfic but easily understandable and enjoyable.
