2. Literature circle book sign up.
3. Final Brave New World discussion/test.
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is!
O brave new world,
That has such people in it! The Tempest (5.1)
A. Why do you think that Huxley chose to title this work Brave New World
considering the influence of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, and generally of the
influence of Shakespeare on this overall text?
B. What values does Huxley seem to be championing in this novel? Critically analyze
the text to demonstrate what seem to be Huxley’s judgments about various values and
practices described in the novel.
C. In the foreword of Brave New World, Huxley says that if he were to rewrite the book,
he would include a third, “sane” form of civilization as a model of his ideals.
Compare and contrast the “brave new world” and the “savage” society
on the reservations, and discuss what characteristics you think such
a sane civilization would have.
