Oh Oh! Brave New...

In this next essay on Brave New World I want to argue how the government's control of the people was not as idealistic as the people were conditioned to believe. Find a way to prove that life would be better without the soma holidays, the ability to get everything you want, and the distracting activities like Feelies and Obstacle Golf. One thing i could do is bring in Neil Postman's "Technopoly" to help characterize the way the government conditions their 'subjects' produce as efficiently as machines, as if they were machines! As well as consume goods left and write. They were even trained to think that you should buy new clothes before you stitch or hem up old ones. This piece of writing might be an effective way to describe the unbelievable efficiency of the society.
Another way to analyze the novel would be to bring in The Tempest which has a major connection to this book. In doing this you could connect parallel, or corresponding, characters from both writings, and analyze why Aldous made the ties so strong. Like the one between Jon and Miranda maybe... What would be the point of that? It could be to emphasize the characterization of Jon as pure and innocent and very close-minded and hidden from outside experiences. Or to make Bernard seem like Prospero? And watch all of his maniacal happenings, theories, and plans. Like getting Jon to go to London so the DHC can meet his son! Because the DHC wanted to remove Bernard to Iceland, an island! Just like Antonio did with Prospero, in tricking him out of the land. But the strange part is the anti-parallelism between Ferdinand and Lenina. But could that be to highlight the differences in the times, because in a way, they both represent the people of their time. Lenina being the promiscuous woman of After Ford. and Ferdinand being the healthily religious man of marriage. But how do these tie into the analysis of the novel. That iw what we need to find out...???
