  • Love In A Brave New World Analysis

    1766 Words  | 4 Pages

    In Aldrous Huxley’s A Brave New World, pleasure is the main driving force in life. The government uses tools such as the wonder drug soma and the endorphins naturally released during and after sexual intercourse to keep the minds of their well-tended flock off of matters that might concern them if they had not previously been conditioned to resort to a vice the moment that they begin to conceive an ill thought. Lenina 's adulation of John, the Savage, is perhaps one of the more obvious triggers of soma usage within the novel. Lenina does not understand John 's concept of love, and attempts to show her affection in the only way she knows how, and that is by having sex with him. She thinks this is a normal act, but for him, it is sanctity. John believes that one should only express their passion through sex if they are married as is the custom on the reservation. This leads John to call Lenina many obscene names and to send her into the tender arms of soma instead. She merely wishes him to reciprocate her advances, which she would take as meaning that he was happy to be with her. She simply wants the both of them to be joyous in their carnal revelry but “Happiness is a hard master – particularly other people 's happiness. A much harder master, if one isn 't conditioned to accept it unquestioningly, than truth” (Huxley 227, Brave New World). John and Lenina are very different people however, as Lenina tells Bernard “I don 't understand … why you don 't take

  • Characteristics Of Jordan Baker In The Great Gatsby

    444 Words  | 1 Pages

    She lies, cheats, and somehow gets away with it all, perpetuating her sense of entitlement. The incident that helps Nick to see who she really is, as stated in the book, is as follows: “[Jordan] left a borrowed car out in the rain with the top down, and… lied about it-and suddenly I remembered… At her first big golf tournament… she had moved the ball from a bad lie in the semi-final round” (58). While these two coinciding events introduce her questionable morals, Nick fails to see this until later in the book. Nick overlooks this trait of hers, and goes to show how even when presented with direct evidence of wrongdoing, she can get away with whatever she wants. She believes that she deserves to get her way no matter what the expense may be, even if it may put others in danger. A dangerous situation the Jordan gets herself into because of this sense of entitlement through deception is when she is taking a drive with Nick.

  • The Dark Side of Love

    1487 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe’s Faust (Part One) as well as in Gotthold Ephraim Lessing’s Nathan the Wise, love plays a vital role. Love is the reason that an individual strays from the path to enlightenment and begins to act in strange, unpredictable ways. It decreases an individual’s ability to reason and takes away any incentive he might have to seek enlightenment. Since love is based on faith, it goes against the ideals of enlightenment which stress individual thinking. Love brings about a sense of fulfillment, which also works against the ideals of enlightenment which advocate a constant struggle within the individual to find truth or reach a higher plain of thought. In the Age of Enlightenment, love is a temptation man must overcome to reach enlightenment.
