Brave New World is an interesting case of a dystopian novel in that there isn’t necessarily an insurgent element attempting to topple the authoritarian regime. In an essay using several passages from the novel, discuss why this might be the case in this novel. What or who serves as antagonist to the state, if anything or anyone does? Who or what “wins,” at the end?

One of the more interesting aspects of the novel are the gender dynamics involved in the society Huxley creates. Choose two or more characters of each gender and compare and contrast their role within the narrative and their society. 

In a similar vein, while some aspects of the World State may seem more restrictive and authoritarian, other aspects of the society—especially the polyamory—seem more liberated than much of contemporary Western society. Choosing several passages, make an argument for or against the case that the society of Brave New World is more equitable across gender lines than is your home culture.
