\u2018Everyone else is belongs to everyone else\u2019 is whispered to human\u2019s ears during their sleep in Brave New World; from the very beginning of their lives until their last day human creatures are designed to think and live as \u2018society\u2019 wants them to do so, they do not have individual choices and freedom. In order to make society run smoothly, human beings are conditioned to think, make choices and live according to superior orders, which alter the real nature of humankind and abolish uniqueness.<\/p>\n

\u2018When the individual feels, society reels.\u2019 Lenina warned Bernard. In a uniformed world like in Brave New World, even love is a danger to social stability, because loving a particular man or woman is a unique identity, which is a threat to the social system. Instead of loving one particular man or woman, everybody loves everybody, which is in a way means loving no one. However, there are some characters in the novel, for instance Bernard, who fails to follow the rules, perhaps loving someone is a capability which is so deep in us, that is hard to abolish.<\/p>\n

Most of the people in the novel are even not aware of the \u2018real\u2019 meaning of friendship, love, marriage and parenting, because they have never experienced it. These values, which are so familiar to us, are dead in Brave New World. These values were sacrificed long time ago, because they surely make people unique. Instead, people grow up in communities, which is very similar to the way orphans grow up without a family.<\/p>\n

When Bernard went to a holiday, he met Linda and John, who live outside of the community. They are mother and son, Linda look \u2018old\u2019 and some of her teeth are missing, her only dream is to go back to the \u2018perfect world\u2019 from where she was expelled because of her pregnancy. However, when she and her son returned, Linda was deliberately overdosed, because she does not fit into the society, she is different. In the novel, people are capable of killing for order without even realising it.<\/p>\n

When John\u2019s mother, Linda is dying, John goes to the hospital to see, where he is told that she is only left a few hours to live. When she dies, John outbursts in his pain which is not understood by other people. For them, people are only replaceable, interchangable units of the society, being loved and loosing that particular person are so out of their rich, they cannot imagine.<\/p>\n

In Huxley\u2019s Brave New World, people take somma which is a drug subscribed for everyone. By swallowing a few tablets, people feel themselves better; disappointment, shame, bad feelings disappear in a minute. People take a few of it after work, or go to somma holidays for recitation. Sommatized people are half conscious they are \u2018industrialised\u2019 to feel happy about themselves, however this is not \u2018true\u2019 happiness, the reality blurs with the imaginations.<\/p>\n

There are only two people in the novel, who completely fail to fulfil what is expected from them, namely John and Bernard. Both of them are Alfa+, thus they are very cleve, but John was raised up by his mother, while Bernard was conditioned. Bernard only questions the system\u2019s inhumanity, while John reject the system altogether. Probably, John who was raised up by his mother is more \u2018human! than his fellow, Bernard.<\/p>\n

There is one solution to escape where one can live as he or she desire, to go to an island. Around \u2018the modern World\u2019 there are islands, where people are deported, if it is necessary for the sake of \u2018civilization\u2019. They live there as people lived before, having children, getting old. For instance, Bernard has to go, although, he is not satisfied with the decision.<\/p>\n

Bernard started and looked horrified. What would the Controller think? To be labelled as the friend of a man who said that he didn\u2019t like civilization-said it openly and, of all people, to the Controller-it was terrible. \u201cBut, John,\u201d he began. A look from Mustapha Mond reduced him to an abject silence.<\/p>\n

To conclude, every human value, which makes us individual is dead in Brave New World by Huxley. Individualism is defeated in the dystopia and only society lives. Who does not fit into the society is either killed or deported. A society where people do not have choices and ruled by others is called dictatorship. The only way to resist the power of tyranny is keeping one\u2019s mind active and free. People\u2019s freedom is always limited, but should be constantly exercised to avoid tyranny.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
