Through his portrayal of the complete control of the World State over all aspects of the lives of their citizens, Huxley conveys the perilous consequences of total societal stability and governmental control upon individual freedom and identity, an aspect pertaining to the human condition. The detrimental impacts of complete societal stability are conveyed through the rhyming couplet, “when the individual feels, the community reels”. Through the couplet, a robotic slogan implanted into the minds of its citizens via conditioning, Huxley emphasises the World State’s manipulation of its own people to suit society’s needs, simultaneously expressing the repression of free will and individual emotion as a result.

It starts off with a group of students having a tour to the fertilizing room where they see the process how humans born not through natural birth but through apparatus and computer. The fertilized eggs are divided into Alphas, Betas, Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons where Gammas, Deltas and Epsilons “undergo Bokanovsky’s Process”.

Ignorance is bliss. This idiom encompasses one of the main overarching themes of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, social conditioning, eugenics, and Soma.

In Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World, individual freedom is controlled by the use of recreational drugs, genetic manipulation and the encouragement of promiscuous sexual conduct, creating the ideal society whose inhabitants are in a constant happy unchanging utopia. In sharp contrast, Seamus Heaney’s poetry allows for the exploration of individual freedom through his symbolic use of nature and this is emphasised even further by people’s expression of religion, which prevails over the horrors of warfare.

His quote was an observation on the independent relationship between religion and human morality, and the impact the lack of religion has on the latter. Where thousands of years ago, mankind was not able to explain the mysteries of the world, the idea of God came to serve as a purpose to attain some sense of understanding.
