What is your favorite Aldous Huxley novel and why?

How is communism represented in the novel "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley?

  • Examples that are portrayed throughout the novel please!! (Specifically up to chapter 7)

  • Answer:

    all forms of collectivism and thought control and enforced occupational hiearchy is portrayed as soul killing. he doesn't say it doesn't work, or is economically non-viable. He says it is most frightening when it DOES work, because in a world designed to make us all into gears and cogs of the social/economic machine, there would no longer be: adventure, tragedy, peril, great romance. No more heights or depths of thought or feeling. No more risk taking. No more agonizing decisions or forks in the road. In other words, no one in this "utopia" has a life story worth hearing, unless they rebel, and get ostracized from society. examples: everyone knows what their job is, they have been genetically designed for it. everyone knows it is their duty to society to play games and consume products anyone who wants solitude is socially unacceptable they have a recreational drug that is fun, non-addictive, has no ill effects recreational sex is encouraged, monogamy is discouraged, because it leads to strong feelings, which are frowned upon.
