I like it when such a system like in "Brave New World" is described with all details, with all pros and cons.
In the beginning there are only the students and the director. The director shows them the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre and so he shows the reader the theoretical system of the world state. Then Bernhard, his friend and Lenina come and show us the people and the system in practice.
In the savage reservation we see the opposite of the world state. The systems are different, but they are also similar, the people and the problems are very similar. John and Bernhard have got the same problems, they're different.
In the next part the problems of the main characters in their surroundings are described, and now their problems have got results.
And in the last part everything gets to an end. I think the book has a great construction.
There are three scenes which I remember best: - chapter 3 : the further you read, the shorter get the paragraphs, until one paragraph is only one sentence in direct speech, and without the person who said it. (great)
- the dialogue between Mustapha Mond and the savage: "' I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.' (the savage) [...] "'You're welcome'" (Mustapha Mond). (impressive)
- the very end: "north, north- east, east [...]" . (ingenious)
Two totally different cultures meet each other. One shows the other what's wrong, but maybe these things wouldn't be wrong if the main characters wouldn't be different. And so the book is a book about being different. And I like that.
