The mood of Brave New World

There are two different sections in the novel: the description part, and the story part. The former one is where the novel focuses on illustrating the 'New World' while the latter one is mainly about what happens to John.

From readers' points of view, the mood is very satiring in the first part. Although the world is depicted as a paradise, it's morally wrong in our eyes. Cloning is accepted as an essential and inevitable proccess to sustain the society. People who belong to the lowest level are trained to loath nature and books but to concentrate on working. There is no such thing called family. Mother and father are cussing words. Soma is the only panacea. On the other hand, there is no war, no crime, no aging, and no starvation. Everything is organized and perfect; the author must have created such mood to make the reader ponder about the true meaning of utopia.


The mood of the second part, where John is the main character, is quite dismal The detailed describtions of John's desire to blend in with the new society and new people make the reader feel sympathy for him. Yet, because of such great descripency from his previous enviroment, John couldn't adjust to the 'Brave New World' and simply commits suicide in the end.
