I. SUBJECT Aldous Huxley's Brave New World is a satire about a utopian society in which all people are divided by class and raised to do the work required of that class. It opened with the breeding process, called conditioning, in the Hatching and Conditioning Center in central London. The hatchery director was giving a tour to a group of kids, explaining the process of sleep teaching, or how morals and principles were implanted in children's brains. The story moved on to Lenina Crowne and Bernard Marx, when Lenina admitted to a friend that she was attracted to Bernard. Bernard, who was rather short and weak for his class, asked Lenina if she could accompany him to a Savage Reserve, a place where failed humans are sent to be studied. When Bernard asked the Director for leave, the Director told him about a woman who was lost and never recovered. After leaving for the Reserve, Bernard learned from a friend that the Director intended to exile him for being antisocial. At the Reserve, Lenina and Bernard met Linda, who Bernard realized was the woman the Director had visited the Reserve with, and her son, Giovanni. Because John wishes to visit the "new world" his mother had told him about, Bernard receives permission to take John and Linda back with him. John began to feel disturbed after visiting the school and factories. When Director Bernard arrives in exile, the latter reveals that John is the former's son, which caused the Director to resign. John went to the country. Some curious people followed him and wanted John to whip himself. Chaos ensues and the following morning John hangs himself for conforming to the disturbing society.II. THEMEThe theme of…half the paper…is carried forward to its intensely unpleasant climax” (Harmon 171). In the novel, the negative qualities of today's society are accentuated and worsened, such as consumerism and prejudice. Traits also appear that we would find horrified today but which could still become possible, for example the production of the human embryo by mechanical means. A subgenre of the novel is satire. The definition of the satirical genre is: "A work or mode that blends a censorious attitude with humor and wit to improve human institutions or humanity" (46). At the time the novel was written, most of the traits portrayed by society were completely unbelievable, but today they are considered totally possible and completely unwanted. Huxley clearly predicted the outcome of today's society, and today the novel is less a satire and more a negative prediction of what is to come.
