Brave New World

by Aldous Huxley

Brave New World: Style 1 key example

Chapter 3
Explanation and Analysis:

Huxley's style is heavily dependent on contrast—whether through irony, oxymoron, paradox, or metaphor, every stylistic choice exists for the purpose of holding a mirror up to modern society. Society's problems in Brave New World reflect the horrors of our own. To further achieve this unsettling style, Huxley will often switch between character perspectives very quickly, or jump straight from dialogue into narration.
