Exploring John's Expectations in Huxley's Brave New World

In Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World," the title references a line from Shakespeare's "The Tempest." When Bernard Marx invites John to the World State, John expresses his astonishment with the famous quote, “O brave new world, that has such people in’t!” This moment reflects John's expectations of a utopian society filled with beauty and wonder. This analysis delves into what John anticipates in this new world and questions whether those expectations will be fulfilled within the confines of a highly controlled society.
