Scene Summary and Context
In Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World', the society depicted is one where individuals are conditioned from birth to accept their roles through various psychological techniques. The Director of Hatcheries explains the process of 'Bokanovsky's Process', which creates uniform human embryos, ensuring societal stability. The concept of 'hypnopaedic' learning is introduced as a method of conditioning, where repeated phrases such as 'Everyone belongs to everyone else' are drilled into citizens during sleep. Such conditioning aims to suppress individual desires and promote conformity, ensuring the stability of the World State. The society's reliance on technological control and psychological manipulation reflects fears about loss of personal freedom and the power of conditioning to shape human behaviour. Students are encouraged to consider how language reflects themes of control and conformity, and to examine how techniques like repetition and specialised terminology serve to reinforce societal norms.
