My Thoughts on Brave New World

After finally finishing Brave New World, I have got to say this is a pretty great book over all. From the very beginning of the book, you are taken into a strange dystopian society where babies can be made with artificial wombs, the concept of parents is viewed pornographically, and anyone can be with anyone in a relationship empty of love. However, as I read more into the book, I began to go against this book because it prioritized happiness and the satisfaction of people over everything and made the drug soma to cause them to feel nothing but happiness, shutting out the rest of the world they were in. It is also why all other emotions, works of art, and sources of knowledge like books were made extinct so every civilization. It's because of this society that I began to admire the introduction of John the savage because he saw the world for the old nature it once had and believed all aspects of it were needed to make people human again. He's also the only character who expressed sadness, grief and anger after the death of someone he cared for, while others just saw the death as a common thing, clearly distinguishing him from the rest of the brainwashed specimens that considered themselves people. In the end, it's because of John and his attempts to bring back society to what it was that I ended up enjoying this book because he emphasized how each old aspect made an impact in a person even though the so called Controller of the city denied everything he said. And though the ending of the story may have not been the greatest, it clearly depicted just how broken the society of Brave New World was. Did anyone else enjoy the  book? If so, what were your favorite parts? Do you think the end justified the message the book was trying to give? Share your thoughts.
