2 Find details and examples in the text to support your answers to these questions. 1. Why do you think Huxley opens the book with a tour of a hatchery instead of by introducing the main characters? How does the hatchery relate to the society of the brave new world? 2. Satirical works use irony to make an argument. The narrator (satirical voice) expresses ideas that are the opposite of what the author (Huxley) truly believes. For example, on page 7, the narrator says, But one of the students was fool enough to ask where the advantage lay referring to standardizing the production of humans (the Bokanovsky Process). a. By calling the student a fool, what can you infer the narrator think about this process? b. Now think about your reaction as a reader to the student being called a fool. What can you infer that Huxley thinks about this process? 3. Describe the way this society functions. In what ways is it different from our society (in terms of the people s values, the way they live, the organization of society, etc.)? Why do you think the author chose Ford to be the God of this society?
3 4. What methods does this society employ to ensure social stability? What is the main goal of these methods? 5. Analyze the Director and Mr. Foster s behavior toward Lenina (Chapter 3). What does it indicate about this society? Why is the Director called just the Director and not given a name what effects does this have, and how does this relate to the author s presentation of this society? 6. How would you describe the mood and tone of the novel, and how does the author establish these? 7. Contrast the way the characters speak and the setting s atmosphere (mood) with what you can infer about the author s actual attitude toward these things. The first page should give you a good indication of how the reader is supposed to react to these descriptions of this futuristic society.
