After the publication of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, modern literature changed forever. It is considered a masterpiece and one of the pillars of the dystopian novel. However, both of these statements can be questioned. The first based on the subjective opinion of a reader and the second compromising its dystopian nature. Like George Orwell's novels, Brave New World's main appeal lies in the ideas it contains, not its literary merits. Huxley's talent is essentially composed of his ideas and the attitude he takes towards the problems he presents. He took full advantage of his endowment in Brave New World Revisited, a nonfiction sequel to Brave New World. The sequel lacks mediocre narration in favor of factual information and proposing solutions to the problems faced. Simply put, Brave New World Revisited is what Brave New World should have been. The first chapters of Brave New World are undoubtedly ingenious. Aldous Huxley uses them to wisely grab the reader's attention. For the moment the core of the story is only hinted at. Instead, the main focus is on a scientific discussion, which explains the method of reproduction. During the director's speech, further points about the fictional society are revealed through small details. The fact that there is a character called the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning, introduced rather casually, implies that the whole tone of the novel will be explored later, including a feeling of distant, impassive pragmatism. However, it slowly evaporates from the novel as the plot develops, thus fundamentally ruining the book. After the initial introduction, Huxley moves towards a standard and more common narrative... middle of paper ......g means living one's life in eternal joy and therefore a utopia. However, since anyone can decide whether to see it in the first or second, this can serve as a means of self-exploration for the reader. After all, Aldous Huxley just showed the world a possible scenario of the future and it is up to the world to decide whether it will see it as a warning or a warm invitation.
