Is the push for a perfect utopia enough to siphon off motherhood, family and love? As in Brave New World, Aldous Huxley illustrates the destruction of the idea of ​​family in this “perfect world”. People in today's world have the ability to express love and start a family. Huxley explores the futuristic vision of a world (similar to our own in many ways) that would not allow for such humanistic traits. Science is supposedly the “father of progress” and yet the development of Fordism and the evolution of artificial fertilization deteriorate the social value of science. Brave New World offers an incentive for an innovative world trying and, more frighteningly, succeeding in creating a utopia while destroying the family and erasing the humanity in people. Humanity is the set of qualities or characteristics which, considered as a whole, are characteristic of human beings. . Qualities like love, marriage, commitment and family. One of Huxley's characters, John, attempts to point out these characteristics to Helmholtz, a man who has been taught the beliefs of the World State, but completely fails. Helmholtz just laughs at the “ridiculous” ideas of love, marriage, and parenting while John recites to him a serious passage from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (Huxley 184-187). Helmholtz finds humor in these new ideas he had never heard of before. This unawareness of the traits that make people human is the attitude of society as a whole in Brave New World, and because of this view, the leaders of the World State have no moral regret in doing so. humans their number one priority. Brave New World shows the main goal of society. is to increase the world's population while brainwashing these people into believing that family is insignificant and, therefore, rendered... middle of paper ...... y or a real love for another person. No more love because society considers it taboo and there is always soma for those who are anxious about feeling that way. Without family, people are animals, people without responsibility; people without anyone else to grow old with. These people live alone without even knowing the joys of being outside of a family because the World State has convinced them that it is okay to sacrifice love, marriage, commitment and family so that society becomes a utopia.
