Bernard Marx - Brand New World.
Brave New World is one of my favorite novels of all time. It is often linked with Orwell's 1984 because both Novels create a picture of possible futures for humanity. In Orwell's 1984 it is a bleak world ruled with fear by a totalitarian government that was erected after the second world war, it shows what might have happened of Stalanism and Fascism had expanded beyond what actually happened.
Huxley provides a very different picture of humanities future. In this world humans are not born, they are grown and are conditioned depending on what society needs. Everyone is conditioned from their conception to love who they are and are made to understand that everyone in society has a vital role in its survival. Bernard Marx is a man who is one of the highest members of the caste society however he is different, he does not find satisfaction with the status quo and thinks differently from most. Where his society is based on the principles of "Stability, Identity, Stability" where "Everyone belongs to everyone else" Bernard cares about his individuality. This book does not have a happy ending.
