You can’t have a lasting civilization without pleasant vices.’” (Huxley 180). And instability means the end of civilization.

And passion and neurasthenia mean instability. ‘But chastity means passion, chastity means neurasthenia.

This quote supports the idea that stability comes at a cost, “‘You’d have a reason for chastity!’ said the Savage, blushing a little when he spoke the words. This includes books of poetry like ones by Shakespeare, religion, as well as religious items like the Bible. This message is why Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World.įirst, the world of Brave New World has mainly eradicated the remnants of past culture. This cost is culture from the past, individual freedoms, feelings like unhappiness or love, and uniqueness. The author of Brave New World, Aldous Huxley, is sending a message to the future through Brave New World, which is that the advanced stability and organization of society comes at a cost. In the novel Brave New World society is very organized and stable, however, this comes at a cost.
