When people think of a mother, they think of a comforter, a lover, and a role model. Most women's dream today is to become a phenomenal mother: to be someone their child, and even observers, can look up to. What if a woman was denied her dream of becoming a mother, or even forced to think that being a mother was indecent? Suppose the people of the world are conditioned to believe that the words "birth" and "mother" are obscene, and that the only mothers in the world are called "savages." Would dreams be shattered because of the absence of motherhood? Would she feel like there was something missing in her life without the love of a child? In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, unpleasant feelings toward births and mothers are universal. To live in a “perfect” world, there are many imperfections due to the lack of a mother’s love. The term "reproduction" is usually used to describe mothers and fathers producing a child naturally, but in Brave New World, the term is used to describe the manufacturing of humans in factories. The Director of Hatcheries (DHC) explains the process to a group of students: An egg, an embryo, an adult-normality. But a bokanovskified egg will bud, proliferate, divide. From eight to ninety-six buds, and each bud will become a fully formed embryo, and each embryo will become a full-sized adult. To grow ninety-six human beings where only one grew before. Progress. (Huxley 7) With the Bokanovsky process, a woman is unable to have her own child and is prohibited from having a natural birth. Additionally, this process creates a caste system. The system consists of Alphas, Betas, Gammas, Deltas and Epsilons. Alphas and Betas are the highest classes. In the Bokanovsky trial...... middle of paper ...... spoke very abruptly. “Don’t say that. There is very little honor in this mission. (Lowry 21). The mother's reaction shows the extent to which hatred towards motherhood is present in many fictional societies. Whether in an unstable or stable society, mothers and births should always be present. Motherhood can drive a woman crazy, but over time, child makes her sane. In Brave New World? In Defense of Paradise-Engineering, David Pearce sets out the general reason for Ford's beliefs about motherhood and birth: "...it is suggested that the price of universal happiness will be the sacrifice of the most sacred shibboleths of our culture: "motherhood ", "home", "family", "freedom", even "love" (Pearce). Is the price of true motherhood, home, family, freedom and love worth the reward of a false happiness? When there is motherhood, home, family, freedom and love, there is happiness?.
