Brave New World Blog 1

In the novel A Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, a major theme I picked up on and how society and humans are conditioned is to no longer be able to have emotions or any feelings for one another. This is seen numerous times even in the beginning of the novel, an example being no romantic connection between Lenina Crowne and Henry Foster, who have sexual relations and outings together, but share no emotions or commitment. Morals and ethics that society uses in our everyday life have long been forgotten, and the famous quote, “everyone belongs to everyone else,” is taken quite literal in the text. I am truly fascinated by this novel and the amount of conditioning and lack of individualism that the story is following, I am excited to see how the story continues and how humans will take back their right to identify and create themselves.
