Scene Summary and Context
In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, the society is built upon the pursuit of happiness through artificial means, where individuals are conditioned from birth to conform and seek pleasure. The novel explores the tension between superficial happiness and the deeper pursuit of truth. The setting includes the World State, a highly controlled environment where 'Community, Identity, Stability' are core principles. The story features characters like Bernard Marx and John the Savage, who challenge the society's values. A key phrase, such as 'Feeling good', encapsulates the superficial happiness promoted by the state. This phrase highlights the contrast between genuine human experience and manufactured contentment, inviting readers to question what constitutes true happiness versus the acceptance of societal imposed illusions.
