Brave New World MacLeod1 Brave New World Literary Essay Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World is a futuristic story of a dystopian society that has rid itself of instability through science and politics, as well as the sacrifice of certain cultural values. Although the concept of this new world seems ideal, the author portrays it cynically. His ideas of progress, science and politics are reflected negatively in the novel as their employment in the society cause the sacrifice of such themes as religion, history, and freedom. The forfeitures made for stability creates a fear in the reader of the methods used to dispose of them. The theme of progress is one fundamental basis of the new culture. The people of London now idolize the belief in Ford rather than a God. In this novel, Ford represents Henry Ford who is a symbol of technological advancement and industrialization. His ideas are reflected in the novel not only in the society’s mechanical modernization, such as the use of helicopters instead of cars, but also in its scientific revolution. The use of the assembly line is now used for the manufacturing of humans on a large scale.
