Quote from Brave New World July 17, 2010 Page 88

"For what was there that one could do in private.(Apart ,of course, from going to bed: but one couldn't do that all the time.) Yes, what was there? Precious little." - Brave New World Page 88
This excerpt shows Bernard's feelings towards the socialization of his society. The government had taken away the basic principle of being ones own. Public unity was the word that was preached. This quote also embodies one of the key points of the novel. Huxley attempts to show the dangers of anti-individualism. He shows that the spirit of one does not necessarily need to be dumped into a social being in which each member of society serves as one cell to the body. The quote also shows how the future humans are fearful of being alone. There were very, very few activities one participates in alone or in small groups. This fear eventually led to the demise of affection felt for one other. This, in turn, led to the casual promiscuity of the population. Pleasure worshipped while passion despised. These ideas led to the flawed social structure of Huxley's imagined, sexually-charged future society.
