Imaginary World
As things are brought back under Christs rule and authority, they are not restore to health,
beauty, and freedom.-Keller. Imagine if one day people around the world have the same idea.
Brave New World was written by Aldous Huxley in 1931. The book tells a story about the world
society in the future settle in London. It shows new technology, lifestyle, and social classes. There
ally calls the World State where civilization is originated. Nonetheless, people in the World State
society are like robots. The incubators, clothing, and soma shape the people to have their order jobs
The incubators in Brave New World is one of the symbols that show humanity is misplaced
since humans are not produced by the way they should be. The director appears in the first chapter
at the central London Hatchery and Condition Center. While he is conducting his new student
around explaining about Bokanovskys process. It is the process used to made children in the World
State by the incubators. Huxley arranges how Bolanovskys process that One egg, one embryo,
one adult normally. But a Bokanovskified egg will bud, will proliferate, will divide. From eight to
ninety-six buds, and every bud will grow into a perfectly formed embryo and every embryo into a
full-sized of an adult.(Huxley,p.3). The evidence shows what each step goes to produce one life,
but this is not the way people do in the real world. Because there are a lot of conflict going on in our
real world, so the world needs to stabilize society. That is why the World State made people via
incubators to ensure that everyone will be happy with their life because they have ability limited.
In the World State, some people dress the same, and some dress differently. Because they
have their own class, and clothing shows which castes individual belongs to. The castes system can
be split off into 5 castes ; Alpha, Bata, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon. While the director order the
nurse to set out the colored image, and bring children, with eight-month old babies, all look
exactly alike (a Bokanovsky Group, it was evident) and all (since their caste was Delta) dressed in
khaki.(Huxley, p.16). This clearly shows that children in the World State are indicated since they
were born since they are hatching inside the incubator. As they grow up everyone has to dress
properly in the caste they belong to. It can say that in one caste there would be one ordered Job, so
people have to dress differently in different castes system, however, these people have the same
Soma is one of the main compositions that World State uses to shape peoples behavior and
attitude, even though World State citizens have class to separate their ability. In the book, it states
earlier that everyone takes soma as their routine when they get a bad mood, upset, or tense from
something ,even they stay in the different classes after they take soma, it increase their desire or
want to have sex. After Benito, the conventional Alpha man, takes some ,then Lenina arrives :
Four minutes late, was all his comment, as she climbed in beside him. He stared the engines and
threw the helicopter screws into gear. The machine shot vertically into the air. Henry accelerated
Although, Henry stays in Alpha ,and Lenina is a Beta. Both of them can grab an happiness together
by sex. Hence, this can mean that even everyone are taken control ,but they have a tool to crate a
happiness.
Thus, Incubators, clothing ,and soma force people to be like robots , and shape people
behavior, classification, lifestyle ,and idea. The reason is Incubator show that people were born to
be tools for people in the higher class to make a stable society. Clothing shows that everyone has a
mandated job, and it is not a job that they want because they were born with duty, classes. Also,
Soma is a factor that shape people act without sense and knowledge to gain happiness. It imply that
even people are living differently and separately in their classes to stabilize society ,but they all
have to be happy to prevent them from conflict. This seem like a communism ,but our world have to
much conflict. Question yourself, if this world be like the Brave New World.
