Brave New World & “Bokanovsky’s Process”

The bout amid mortality and communal identity forms a central theme of Huxleys Brave tonic existence. From the opening page of the wise, it is chiseled that Huxleys satirical utopia is supported by an oer-riding sense of civic authority and communal identity. The World call forth celebrates its law and ethical paradigms by mode of sloganism and its herald in a shield, the World pleads motto, COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY the three words in rapid succession suggest that the unearthly trinity of Father-Son-Holy-Ghost pay been re placed by communal realisation.The words seem to lead into unrivalled and only(a)ness-an early(a), blurring their meanings unneurotic and suggesting a cause and effect that residential district al haplesss for identity and stability community in the World State, in fact, is identity and stability, (Huxley). As the novels first extended scene gets underway, the subscriber begins to enter the utopian world and realizes that man-to-manizatio n, as recognized by contemporary real-world readers, is placed at a very low priority in the World State. The mass-production of cars and other factory-built products has been applied to gentle beings.Students attend a medical lecture on the Bokanovskys physical process which generates mass- gentleman production One egg, angiotensin converting enzyme embryo, one adult-normality. But a bokanovskified egg allow bud, forget proliferate, will divide. From eight to 96 buds, and either bud will build up into a perfectly formed embryo, and every embryo into a full-sized adult. Making cardinal human beings grow where only one grew before. Progress. (Huxley) From the very beginning of life in the World State, identicalness is sacrificed in the hold of community and in the name of gain ground.Huxleys satirical inversion of the associations most commonly associated with human infants those of possibility and uniqueness and joy and subsumed to a lower place his Ford-factory-utopian abstraction of babies born in labs on conveyer belts. With this single image and scene, Huxley sets up the central dichotomy of Brave stark naked World, the conflict surrounded by individual self-direction and self-actualization and communal of State-controlled power and State mandated happiness. Because Huxleys intention is to critique the inhumanity of man, his deal of the complete eradication of individuality, by necessity, must(prenominal) begin at birth. The coldly biological and assembly-line imagery establishes the depth and breadth of the conflict between individuality and community identification with importunity and immediacy. To further extend the fullness of the conflict, Huxley must demonstrate the loss of individual cozy caprice and reproductive pays right a broad with his vision of the State brook assembly-line incubators.To completely subsume individuality, it is necessary to demystify eroticism and sexual acts sex is permitted freely in the World State al though the pleasing of sex which is depicted is cold and uncompassionate and not at all what one would associate with human sexual impulse and romantic relationships as we now jazz them. Because human sexual urge begins with self-image, Huxleys depiction of Leninas homework and dressing routine plays a recognize role in showing how individuality is eradicated by the Stare sponsored eroticism and manner Lenina got out of the toilet, toweled herself dry, took hold of a long flexible tube plugged into the wall A blast of warmed air dusted her with the finest talcum powder powder. Eight different scents and eau-de-Cologne were laid on in little taps over the wash-basin. Because Lenina is later revealed to harbor serious bow thoughts regarding sexuality and love, the preceding scene of her bath and dressing serves to show how her inborn witness and natural sexuality have been obscured down the stairs synthetic-ism and communal homogeny, (Huxley).Leninas desired state of sexuali ty is in stark conflict with the professed sexual morals of the World State where recent ideas about love, sex, and romance are vilified and seen as limitations to true human expression Family, monogamy, romance. all over exclusiveness, a narrow channelling of impulse and push furtherton in the new, progressive society, every one belongs to every one else, and there is no such occasion as individual love or romance or monogamy.This inversion of sexual permissiveness care Huxleys conflation of assembly-lines and protectries is an ironic technique which is meant to signal the perils of the crack-up of individuality and spontaneous chemistry between people. Huxley is saying, in effect, that is human individuality is sacrificed in the name of progress, then true progress will also have been sacrificed altogether. By demonstrating the grotesque nature of State sponsored physical attraction and State sponsored births, Huxley attacks the core-experiences of humanity and sets his satirical sights on clarifying through crime, the grave magnificence of individuation in society.In response to the aphorism that everyone belongs to everyone and thus has no personal will whatsoever, the young students in the lecture nevertheless accept this axiom as integrity The students nodded, emphatically agreeing with a statement which upwardly of sixty-two thousand repetitions in the off had made them accept, not merely as true, but as axiomatic, self-evident, utterly indisputable, and with his observation, Huxley makes it clear that the quelling of individuality leads to a stifling of the mind, the imagination, and the will to discover truth as opposed to convenient but possibly corrupt or false explanations, (Huxley)If borth adn sound reflection play a very colossal role in the fundamental elements of Huxleys satirical examination of the conflict between individuality adn community in Brave new-made World, the issue of death and more specifically of sorrow play an equally meaning(a) role in presenting a utopian nightmare where the basic attributes and experiences of humanity have been paved over by homogenised experience and unemotional interpersonal relationships. A good example of this sub-theme in the novel is the scene between the Savage and the nurse in the hospital when the Savages mother lies dying.Normal grieving is looked at as a occult weakness in the social determine of the World State Startled by the expression of distress on his fed up(p) face, she suddenly broke off. Why, whatever is the effect? she asked. She was not accustomed to this kind of thing in visitors. (Not that there were many visitors besides or any reason why there should be many visitors. ) Youre not feeling ill, are you? He move his head. Shes my mother, he said in a scarcely audible voice. The nurse glanced at him with startled, horrified eyes then promptly looked away. (Huxley).Huxleys novel is satirical in essence, but it is horrifying in exp erience and the potential of its visceral message about the urgency of preserving individuality is in many ship canal made acutely powerful by Huxleys satirical inversion of primary modes of human experience including birth, love, sex, friendship, self-image, and even death. By demonstrating the horror of utopia through the loss of personal individuality, Huxley adroitly satirizes many of the conventions and technologies which have steadily arise as a threat in society to the sanctity of the individual.
