In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, how do the characters show bravery?

Question

I know one example is when John argues that the world state dehumanizes the residents.

but what else?

thank you

Answer 1

They do their own homework. They're very brave that way.  

Answer 2

haha

i'm preparing for trials atm aswell and doing BNW/BR aswell!

i think the problem about the world state is that there is no actual representation of bravery throughout except for John the Savage, and his ultimate fate is death.

The people of London 632AF don't think for themselves because they have been brainwashed to think what the government wants them to from conditioning - an example of this is the babies getting subjected to electricity to be associated with books to stop them from having a desire for intellectual stimulation in chapter 2, aswell as all the hypnopaedic phrases (eg every1 belongs to everyone else). This means that they are never in a position to stand up for what they believe in, showing bravery, because they 'believe' what the government wants them to.

The exception of course is John. He has been raised in the Savage Reservation and acts as a mouthpiece of Huxley's values by passionately sharing the same views, that is, a strive for “God ... poetry ... danger ... sin”, which ultimately leads to his death. He clearly is incapable of living in the world state and its dehumanised people. He shows bravery to stand up against the government because he is so opinionated about life.

hope this helps. do you need to do the same for blade runner?
