Q. What is the mood of this novel? Do you find this novel saddens you in any way? Why?
A. The mood of this novel is depressing throughout the entire story. In addition, much of the story has a negative feeling because you know from the start the New World is very superficial. The mood also depicts the eventual outcome of our world if we continue to strive for happiness without thought. Furthermore, the normal people in the story make the story even more depressing because they make me think about what could happen to the entire world. The happiness people are currently aiming for are not going to happen because it is just material wants not want we can fill emotionally or mentally. This novel saddened me in so many ways that I feel so compelled to write about those. The first thing that saddened me was that people were controlled easily by soma and other entertainment that made them prone to having fun. The kind of fun that the New World had was not thinking at all while having the material wants that just made lazier. Second, the fact that people were soul-less about their lives made me the most disappointed. This specially saddened me because many people in Brave New World just wanted a comfortable life with happiness which only meant that they didn’t have any form of art available to them that could fulfill their emotions. Also, this caused probably the entire society to be controlled by the government in such a way that people were just living with it while not getting out of the mental shell. The last fact that saddened me was the fact that people were not able to get out of their mental shell and just did what the government wanted for them to achieve material happiness. The material happiness is where people are satisfied because of soma or other materials made for people to get happy.
