Brave New World
The life and ideas of the Brave New World compared to the United States are very different in numerous ways. Three major differences between the two, are the ideas of love and marriage, human life and death, and the use of drugs. The New World and the United States look at love and marriage in completely different ways. The United States looks at love as an emotional affectionate type of bond. Two people have a sort of friendship and closeness that is put together to later form a marriage or even a family. Marriage and monogamous relationships are encouraged throughout the United States as well. Sex is looked at as something that is very special, emotional, and affectionate among lovers. Sex is encouraged only among people who feel that they are in love with each other. Unlike in the Brave New World where sex is encouraged among everyone and the women are conditioned to be promiscuous. An example of this is when Lenina and Fanny are talking about how Lenina has been dating Henry for 4 months. Fanny says to
Soma is a drug used to keep society stabilized. Diseases usually come to people of old age for various unknown reasons. S such as suicides, accidents, illnesses and diseases. For example, when Bernard says, "Miss Crowne's gone on a soma-holiday"(Huxley, 142). Lenina, "I really do think you ought to be careful. This is typical among people in the Brave New World. Many people in this world depend on soma for their life's happiness. It's such horribly bad form to go on and on like this with one man"(Huxley, 40). The Brave New World is completely different from that; babies come from a process called Bokanovski's process, this is when an egg is arrested in its development and is "predestined" to grow between 8 and 96 buds. Other than doctor prescribed, drugs are considered illegal in the U. Drugs, such as soma are encouraged and controlled in the New World. This means she is happy and everything is going good for her now.
