Abstract

Brave New World, written by Aldous Huxley is well known novel of the modern English literature. It belongs to the dystopian genre of writing, which means that it portrays an undesirable or frightening society. Written between two world wars and influenced by the scientific advances of that era, it prophesied the use of science by totalitarian state to keep the society under control. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the brave new world society and its reflection in our modern society. Using various sources, mainly books, articles and essays from other authors, this study gives an analysis of the society which Huxley portrayed in his novel. It tells about the characters, structure of the society, its development and current affairs. As a conclusion, this paper shows that the society in Brave New World, judged by contemporary standards of human rights, is a totalitarian one and that the humans live in an oppressive regime where their individual rights are suppressed and punished.
