A "Brave New World" comes to an end

As you alll may very well know have been readingthe novel Brave New World. Well, as it stands, it seems that I have conquered the novel. I must say that I honestly adorered the ending of the novel. I was pleased with the ending of the novel for two reasons. First the fact that the novel ended in death for me was excellenct, and secondly I found the Behavior of the citizens towards John to be a sign of hope for the society as a whole.

The fact that the novel ended with death was satisfying. The novel showed that death was the ultimate ending to any reality, and because of this, it hightened the credibility of the the other ideas, that may have been presented in the novel. What I fould most unsettling about the end of the novel was the reason for which John killed himself. John wanted solitude and much to his dismay he could not achieve it and ultimatly it cost him his life. Therefore the question are, what must we as individuals forego in order to be free? and Is death really the price to pay for solitude? However much like Chopins criticism of literature in Happy Endings, much of the attention should not be paid on the ending instead the bulk of the ideas should be taken from the middle of the novel.

The other thing that I liked about the end of the novel was the hope of the civilizations future that could seen through the actions of the. Itizens. In the novel the reader could get a sense thag the citizens were begining to change, that cknfrary to their hours of conditioning their basic human instincts would win out in the end. those mere scenes were a glimmer of hope that the civilization still had a chance to revert back to the old ways of art, love, and care instead of the cruelness of social stability.
