Brave New World is party a social commentary, partly a story that the author, Aldous Huxley, used to express his ideas about society. It ends up being either an old dystopian, or utopian story, depending on your point of view. Throughout the book, Huxley uses some characters and settings to explore “problems” that he finds in 1932 society. It appears everyone in the book is given a choice between civilized servitude and primitive ignorance. Upon looking closer, we realize that it is more an allowance of sorts, and not a choice. This is one of the struggles that the character’s face: some do not agree with the way that society is run, but they struggle to pull away and truly see everything that is wrong with the community.
