what is the major theme of this novel? why is this theme important to a teenger living in 2007?
I’ll get to the point straight away. The major theme of the novel, Brave New World, is that no such thing called utopia can exist in this world. The Society in the New World thinks that their society is perfect and is the ultimate utopia. Everything is perfect and everyone is happy, according to the society. When someone is not feeling good, they can take care of the problem by taking some soma. Everyone has their job and they get the reward they have worked for. It seems nice, everyone is happy, everyone gets what they have worked for, and there’s nothing wrong is the society such as murders. However, away from the Society’s perspective, the society itself is the problem. First of all, there’s a problem with the people. The people, since they were young, they were taught that only facts are important. No morals exist. The people heavily depend on a type of drug called soma to relieve their stress. They are encouraged to take some frequently. Since there are no moral, they give no honor when they are having relationships whether it’s dating or sexual. To be correct, the point of having relationship is to fulfill their sexual desires. Second, the leaders of the Society are the problem. They are no different from the people living in the Society but they just have better jobs. The whole society is corrupted and it’s more of a dystopia, a perfect dystopia, to be correct. To summarize the ideas, the major theme of Brave New World is that no such thing as utopia can exist in this world but if there is someone out there with a hope, then it can bring the world close to utopia.
The theme gives a major impact to teenagers these days because it forces the teenagers to see the world differently even if they don’t want to. To put in it other way, it’s a horrible way to make the teenagers change their perspective. Teenagers are hungry to have freedom. A type of freedom which they can do whatever they want whenever they want. They don’t want to go through hardships and want to take the easy way as solution to every problem. The situation is presented in Brave New World and it shows no utopia but a dystopia with no hope. The theme doesn’t make the teenagers to think back and go ‘Wow, I should start thinking more deeply about this moral and world,’ it forces their mind to think and go ‘Don’t be like this or it is yourself who will suffer for eternity.’ So, I think the theme can help the teenagers to grow mentally in a very good way.

I agree with you. Utopia exists for the people. How can it be a utopia if the people themselves were not normal?
Great job ^^
