In this regard, the bear entitled A brazen New reality by Aldous Hauxley.Why has this book been banned and how does the writer fairly save his idealisms of utopian community? These major questions are to be addressed in the paragraphs that follow. roughly The Author Aldous Hauxley is a British writer who opted to stay in atomic number 20 during the year 1937.He is a known societal satirist writer.

What is the reason behind the banning of the said novel? These questions shall be entertained by discussing the inner context of the said literature. About The Book It has been noted by Huxley himself that the Novel he wrote has been inspired by the novel written by H. G. Wells entitled Men like Gods.The said novel dealt with a utopian community that is introduced by an optimist vi ew of the time to come tense.

Mainly discussing a future office staff of the piece monastic order basing from the actual contemporary mail service of the federation. However, when it comes to the novel by Huxley, the future was presented in a horrible situation. This is the reason why many socialists were alarmed and decided to ban the said literature. As it could be seen, the future was presented in a negative utopia. Banned Book Pro ject page 3 A Brief Analysis of the NovelThe time when the novel was written were the years pertaining to the Industrial Revolution. The massive changes that the said era brought to the human ships company has inspired Huxley to write the novel in a more industrial focused sense of setting. In a futurist fantasy, the idealism of Huxley of a utopian community based upon the development of the present situations in the bon ton towards the future has been clearly stated in the novel. The focus of the theme of the Brave New World is branchicularly pointed towards the fear of loosing ones identity in a fast-paced system of things.Mainly, this shock of the new society is based upon the in the flesh(predicate) shock that Huxley experienced the first time he set infantry in California. The industrialization of the said community has inspired Huxley to write his novel basing from the said social situation. In an era of people naturally raise in foreseeing the future, Huxley provided the readers with the truth that they did not much like to know. However, it is according to him that if the present situations of those times would continue to progress at a fast pace, the future would much likely turn out to be what his novel suggests.The story started in capital of the United Kingdom. The situation of the world was much likely centralized by a world government that is called The World State. Through the said government, the society is divided into five classes, mainly, the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon. The whole human society is characterized to be continuously happy. However, the said happiness is rigidly ill defined. It is characterized by a trained community in becoming good consumers. Everyone in the society is encouraged to do a social life, being aloof from the society is discouraged, aside form this sexualBanned Book Project page 4 promiscuousness is a social norm. Human production is also encouraged but not in a natural way. On the other hand, the gentility process happens in a laboratory wherein hybrid children are heighten and reproductions are controlled in a way that the industry could still however support the population. On another part of the story, another society is introduced. It is ascertain in New Mexico. Most likely, this society depicts the present situation of the human community, whereas there is fashion, arts and science that identifies a persons happiness.Normal reproduction is also present in the said community. The characters that came from this side of the story considered Londons advancement and happiness to be a soulless situation that is dried up by the progress of industrialization. Why the Novel Was Banned As clearly described on the previous paragraphs, the novel has been highly abandoned to picturing a an ideal society when it comes to economic status, however, when it comes to moral philosophy and individual being, the said society is thus a negative community.For this reason, the socialis ts who were competent to know the contents of the said novel feared that the society who would be able to read the said literature would be able t take a shit a negative view of the future and would consider sexual sleeping around and other immoral ways of living as a social norm. This whitethorn then lead to a social downfall when it comes to pietism and individuality. On the contrary, it could be observed that the novel has been a simple hyperbole of the actual situation of the society at present. In a unstained measurement of the social situations at present, it could be recognized that there is indeed a possibility byBanned Book Project page 5 which a future society as to that situation which was portrayed in the novel of Huxley. As it could be seen, sexual relations today are still promoted through the media. Pornography and the materials that introduce it to the society are even considered as a norm. All these are manifested by the profit driven world that exists in th e society today. In an optimistic way, the publication and the distribution of the book may have heat upn up the society as to how things major power turn out to be if they continue to thrive in a profit-focused situation.Personally, the author of this literature analysis sees the banning of the book to be an supererogatory move of the socialists. As the author views the work of Huxley as a wake up call to the human society for them to at least have time to change their ways and be more positively inclined especially when it comes to morals. Conclusion In a positive view, the novel of Huxley may be an exaggeration of the present situation in the society. However, publishing it may have caused many readers to become more aware of the changes that happen in the society and thus shift their profit-driven priorities towards a more morality-focused life.Young children may not understand the context of the novel as a whole however, devising them see the need of social change is a vita l part of ensuring a social future inclined to a more virtuously clean social view. Hence, it could be noted that banning the said novel may have been a mistaken move for the socialist groups. BIBLIOGRAPHY Aldous Huxley. (1998). Brave New World.
