After successfully writting and finishing my prompt four essay I became intrigued with whether you guys also feeled as though Brave New world was appropriately concluded. I feel as though the novel is appropriately concluded although some what depressing and tragic.The novel is appropriately ended because all of the characters get exactly what the wanted just not on the best of terms. John no longer has to live in a society that he hates because he is dead, Bernard and doesnt have to worry about feeling inadequiet because of his stature and Helmholtz is free to write and think to his content although they are both in exile.Do any of you guys feel the same about the conclusion of Brave New World? If not what dont you like about the conclusion to the novel? Do you feel as though all the characters get exactly what they wanted? Also if so do you feel as though it ends on apositive of negative note because of this? I am really curious ofyour opinions on Huxley's novel because i really enjoyed reading thisone compared to Amusing Ourselves to Death.
I think that even though the ending was tragic, I do believe that the conclusion was a proper ending. Helmholtz and Bernard were given what they wanted but john unfortunately committed suicide. However what else was there for John to do? He didn't fit in anywhere and he was simply an amusement for the people of the World State. The only thing I wished Huxley elaborated on is what happened to Lenina.
