The major theme of the novel


The major theme of the novel is the true definition of a utopia. The settings perfectly match the superficial utopia; no hunger, no fight and so on. However, John couldn't adjust to the environment. In other words, something's missing for a human being to live in. And I think it's humanity. In my opinion, a utopia should be a decent place that answer all human demands; people should be comfortable emotionally and physically. Yet the new world in the novel lacks the emotional comforts.
Teenagers usually hope to cope from their current situtations and desire for a utopia. Without any speific thoughts, they just look for an utopia. The novel is an essential guide for them to re-think about their dream lands. In addition, once they know that the dream land isn't feasible, the teenagers would focus on living best lives.

I agree that savage, John, could not adjust to the new world. However, if he were not present there, then I believe there could be a sense of utopia since people were not interrupting each other. Because they were brainwashed from their birth, they did not have to have conflicts or complaints about their castes. Also, the grams of soma made them to soothe and adjust themselves.

Although this was portraying about how meaningless human lives were without emotions, I still believe that with this perfect solutions, people could be happy without any interruptions among them.
