Brave New World (8)
"O brave new world that has such people in it.” John's quotation of shakespeare's tempest characterizes the tone of this chapter whilst brilliantly connoting and connecting the thematically elements of Huxley's novel and our own past. In this chapter John is both directly and in characterized as surprisingly precocious, self-educated as compared to other savage children. In fact I would argue John is much more intelligent or at least has a more diverse process of critical thinking unimpeded by the selective hypnopaedic learnings of the world state populace. ( I mean John reads and quotes Shakespeare for crying out loud! Even most of us ap students don't/ can't do that according to the beginning of the semester soliloquy. Maybe it's because we been conditioned to despise Shakespeare? Food for thought.) Anywho chapter 8 ends with Bernard getting some gumption as he desires to bring the naive John to London not for the good of the boy but to spite the director by bringing him his hidden naturally conceived son. Looks like Bernard is finally being characterized as more than a jaded introvert, he's truly becoming a rebel the blow that will inevitably be inflicted to the director after the realization of the existence of John can so yo be perceived as a direct blow to the tenets of world state society. Lets just hope John is harmed on this trip to the " brave new world". ( isn't it ironic this parallelism that the savage Is the one quoting Shakespeare and is interested in learning more about thirt culture out of genuine curiosity unlike the haughty hubris of the apparently "civilized, advanced" world state culture?.... Another helping on the plate of food for thought).
