Read through and ponder these essay questions. Choose one you think you’d like to write about.

1. Although they were raised very differently, Bernard Marx and John the Savage are both dissatisfied with the society of the brave new world. What qualities do the characters have in common? How are they different? Compare their strengths and weaknesses.

2. In some ways, Linda and Lenina are the most serious rebels of the brave new world. How does the experience of each character challenge the assumptions of the dystopia? Do you think Huxley takes these women characters as seriously as he does the men? Why or why not?

3. In Brave New World Revisited, Huxley discusses the modern world’s resemblance to his dystopia. Make your own case for or against his prophecies. Is modern life really a version of the brave new world? Be specific in your answer, referring to social, political, and economic trends. If modern life is a brave new world, what solutions can you offer?

4. Analyze Mustapha Mond’s role in the novel. How is the World Controller different from the other characters? What is Huxley’s purpose in putting Mond in Brave New World? What would the novel be like without Mond?

5. Discuss Huxley’s use of satire to make his point in the novel. Choose either the scene describing the Solidarity Service that Bernard attends or John’s visit to the feelies as the focus for your argument.

6. Henry Ford, inventor of the assembly line that made possible mass production, looms large as a kind of god in the brave new world. Discuss the specific ways that the society uses Ford’s methods to maintain stability. How does Huxley use Ford and the assembly line to advance his themes?

7. “Everybody’s happy nowadays,” according to the hypnopaedic suggestion. Mustapha Mond himself asserts that happiness and stability are the hallmarks of his society. What evidence does Huxley offer that this is not true? In what specific ways has the promise of happiness not been achieved in the brave new world?

8. Discuss the relationship between science, religion, and political power in the World State.
