In this regard, the hand entitled A audacious New World by Aldous Hauxley.Why has this book been banned and how does the writer middling present his idealisms of utopian corporation? These major questions are to be addressed in the paragraphs that follow. About The occasion Aldous Hauxley is a British writer who opted to stay in California during the socio-economic class 1937.He is a known amicable satirist writer.

However, unlike the previous creations that were done by Huxley, this Novel received the least appreciation by major mixerist groups. How did this Banned Book Project page 2 happen? What is the reason behind the banning of the utter novel? These questions shall be entertained by discussing the inner context of the said literature. About The Book It has been renowned 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 view of the upcoming. The title on the other hand has been base upon Mirandas speech in Shakespeares written work entitled The Tempest. In act V scene I it could be read O Wonder How many solidly creatures are there here O brave new initiation That has such people in it (41) As it could be obviously observed in the context of the stanza, where the title has been taken from, a utopian purchase order could be depicted from the lines pertaining to the forge brave new world.From this context, the approximation of the novel written by Huxley has been created. Mainly discussing a future situation of the human fraternity basing from the tangible contemporary situation of the society. 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 Project page 3 A Brie f 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 society 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 society towards the future has been clearly stated in the novel. The focus of the theme of the Brave New World is particularly pointed towards the fear of loosing ones identity in a fast-paced scheme of things.Mainly, this shock of the new society is based upon the personal shock that Huxley experienced the first time he set foot 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 interested in foreseeing the future, Huxley provided the readers with the truth that they did not a lot 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 London. The situation of the world was much likely centralized by a world government that is called The World State. with 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 confine a social life, being aloof from the society is discouraged, deviation form this knowledgeableBanned Book Project page 4 promiscuity is a social norm. Human labor is also encouraged but not in a natural way. On the other hand, the likeness process happens in a laboratory wherein hybrid c hildren are enhanced and reproductions are controlled in a way that the industry could still further support the population. On another part of the story, another society is introduced. It is situated 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 change up by the progress of industrialization. Why the Novel Was Banned As clearly described on the previous paragraphs, the novel has been highly inclined to picturing a an ideal society when it comes to economic status, however, when it comes to ethical motive and individual being, the said society is indeed a negative community.For this reason, the socialists who were able to know the contents of the said novel feared tha t the society who would be able to read the said literature would be able t have a negative view of the future and would consider sexual promiscuity and other illegal ways of living as a social norm. This may then lead to a social downfall when it comes to morality and individuality. On the contrary, it could be observed that the novel has been a simple exaggeration of the actual situation of the society at present. In a mere 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 til now 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 the society today. In an optimistic way, the publication and the distribution of the book may ha ve waken up the society as to how things might turn out to be if they continue to thrive in a profit-focused situation.Personally, the creator of this literature analysis sees the banning of the book to be an unnecessary 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, create it may have caused many readers to become more aware of the changes that happen in the society and thusly 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, making them see the need of social change is a vital part of ensuring a social future inclined to a more morally 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.
