Literature – as any bookworm would say – is not simply the art of writing. Literature is the Rembrandt of storytelling, the Einstein of language, and the Clint Eastwood of action. Literature is not simply a story: literature is a great story. One of the most powerful traits of great literature is its applicability to the reader's life. This quality is what distinguishes Aldus Huxley's Brave New World from many others: the applicability to human society – in the past, present and future. A great writer can write the perfect story, exhibiting pristine grammar, vocabulary, and writing mechanics, yet that story may not be literature. The title “literature” is given to only a select few stories, one of which is Brave New World by Aldus Huxley. The ingenious omniscient and neutral narrator allows the reader a view from each character's point of view. Huxley's ingenious command of the English language and futuristic insight make Brave New World a true piece of literature. In Brave New World¬ Huxley uses the dystopian society to show many dysfunctions and hypocrisies present in every era from the 1930s to today. The use of genetic engineering, the social class system, and the religious system in Brave New World reflect many problems in today's society – eighty years after Brave New World was first published. Huxley's predictions about the future and how modern society can learn from Huxley's octogenarian visions in the novel Brave New World by Aldus Huxley is a contributing factor to making Brave New World a masterpiece of literature. The biological processes of life have grown at an impressive rate. In 1856 an Austrian monk and scientist, Gregor Mendel, was fascinated by the new study... middle of the paper... and in his anguish he always has Soma to turn to. From an outside perspective Lenina appears to have little control over the world around her, due to her addiction to Soma. The big question posed by Aldus Huxley is this: who is closer to self-realization, John the Savage or Lenina Crowne? Works cited by American public media. Public radio jobs. APM, 2012. Web.
