Hmm, wasn’t that interesting?

Ladies and gentleman, One of the most fascinating aspects of Brave New World for me is that it epitomises the pursuit of physical perfection and treatment of the notion of female beauty. In my opinion, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World conditions people into the ‘perfect human’ leading

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is a classic literary work that vividly paints the picture of a dystopian society. Huxley’s evident purpose for writing the novel was to show society the contrived effects of allowing its own demise. Modern day readers may shrug after having read the novel and think Huxley’s warnings were in vain in regards to contemporary societies.
