Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Didactics - English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,4, PH Oberoesterreich, course: Understanding Fiction and Poetry, language: English, abstract: In "Brave New World" Huxley portrays a concept of freedom which is opposing the reader´s. One important aspect of the concept in the World State is the absence of free will. This essay serves to vindicate this claim. Furthermore, it analyses how free will is oppressed in Brave New World and for what reasons there is no free will. Those questions will be answered by closely looking at the passages of the novel that reveal details about the ideology of Brave New World.
