On my previous Brave New World blog you can see I wrote about the author, Aldous Huxley, and his values and attitudes on the book and setting. However, I did not finish question number one and talk about the perspective that the book was written with. This magnificent book is told in third person narration. I know it is written in third person because it is not told from a single person's point of view. This narration is also omniscient, which means the reader knows the characters thoughts and feelings towards the plot. As a reader I love third person omniscient. I think it makes it easy to learn the persons feelings and how the plot effects them. If I was an author I would use this method. I think this method worked for this novel because their was so many different characters with different feelings toward the new technology. I think Aldous Huxley did a great job.
This novel is a piece of fiction. The events did not happen in real life but they could. I think Aldous Huxley wrote this great book, Brave New World to show people what could happen if technology got out of hand. I think its a good warning and it is easily seen in the novel with his attitudes.
