Is the drive towards a perfect utopia enough to take away motherhood, family and love? As in Brave New World, Aldous Huxley illustrates the destruction of the idea of ​​family in this "perfect world". People in the world today have the ability to express love and create a family. Huxley explores the futuristic perspective of a world (in many ways similar to ours) that would not allow such humanistic traits. Science is the so-called "father of progress", yet the development of Fordism and the evolution of artificial insemination deteriorate the social value of science. Brave New World offers incitements to an innovative world by seeking and, even more frighteningly, succeeding in creating a utopia by destroying the family and erasing the humanity in people. Humanity is that quality or characteristic which, taken as a whole, is characteristic of human beings. . Qualities such as love, marriage, commitment and family. One of Huxley's characters, John, tries to point out these characteristics to Helmholtz, a man who has been taught the beliefs of the World State, but fails completely. Helmholtz only laughs at the "ridiculous" ideas of love, marriage, and parenting while John recites a serious passage to him from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (Huxley 184-187). Helmholtz finds humor in these new ideas that he had never learned about before. This forgetfulness of the traits that make people human is the attitude of the entire society in Brave New World, and because of this view, the leaders of the World State have no moral regrets in making humans their number one priority . Brave New World shows a main purpose of society is to increase the world's population while brainwashing these people into believing that family is insignificant and, therefore, made...... middle of paper.... ..yo genuine love for another person. No more love because society calls it taboo and there is always soma for those who feel anguish in feeling this way. Without family people are animalistic, people without responsibilities; people without someone else to grow old with. These people live lonely lives without even knowing the joys of being separated from a family because the World State has convinced them that it is okay to sacrifice love, marriage, commitment and family so that society can become a utopia .
