I don't understand how we will ever be this society. Brave New World was
interesting and all, but it's just not humanly possible for any of this
to happen. We can't just drop all emotional reasoning and mature at a
younger age than we do now. We can't just not feel jealousy, or
euphoria, or sadness, or love.
Huxley's interview made me
realize how much thought he actually put into his novel. How carefully
he placed each symbol delicately through each chapter. I think he found
people to be a lot more emotionless than we really would be in that
world's structure. It's impossible to feel nothing, and if it was,
nothing would be an emotion. Free thinking is something we can't help
but do, and he can tamper with the idea that we can't all he wants, but
really, there will always be one Henry in a sea of Directors that halts
the process.
