The fundamental tenet behind the society is utilitarianism, which describes a society that seeks to create the maximum happiness. 'Stability' occurs through the limitations placed on the intelligence of each group. Huxley shows how 'identity' comes from the Conditioning Centre through the selection of the embryos into each of five groups. Huxley generates 'community' by dividing the population into segments, where the Alphas serve as intellectual superiors and Epsilons function as pure menial labor. The social motto 'Community, Identity, Stability' frames this social structure. Huxley creates a society that frowns on individual creativity and that only welcomes those who conform. The regime must then ensure that people are happy all the time, be able to control the behavior of each individual, and ensure that independent thinkers are forbidden from disturbing the social fabric. Huxley stated in Brave New World Revisited that the only way to create a permanently stable society is for a totalitarian regime to have absolute power. While few critics have called the governmental regime 'totalitarian' in nature, Huxley explicitly describes it as such. The idea of totalitarian social stability occurs first in this chapter. Thus, the Alphas represent the intellectually superior group, followed by the Betas, and continuing down to the Epsilons, who have little to no intelligence. The Centre conditions all the non-Alpha and Beta embryos for their future status in society by dividing them into Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons. Only the Alphas and Betas come from single eggs that are not budded and hence have no twins. The society contains a five-tiered caste system that ranks Alphas and Betas on top. Predestinators then decide the future function of each embryo within the society, essentially assigning a future job to each human. The scientists take an ovary, remove and fertilize the eggs, force the eggs to bud up to ninety-six times, and subsequently grow the embryos in bottles. The students view various machines and techniques used to promote the production and conditioning of embryos. A group of students receives a tour of the facilities by the Director. The novel begins at the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Center, a production factory for human beings. The underlying principle of the regime is utilitarianism, or maximizing the overall happiness of the society. The world has submitted to domination by World Controllers, whose primary goal is to ensure the stability and happiness of society. There's also her potential new role in charge, maybe alongside Mustafa.Brave New World occurs six hundred years in the future. Season two could explore Lenina and John's relationship, could they get things back on track? Alden Ehrenreich revealed there was a version of the ending where they did end up together. I saw David the other night (showrunner) and he's literally told no one.' Harry Lloyd (Bernard) told ET: 'You assumed some kind of Indra, but no one knows. But why would the savages' current leader Sheila immediately recognise it? It could also be Soma, or the recipe for the drugs, as it's suggested they're needed to set up a society with Indra. BUT WHAT'S IN THE BOX? Well, Indra, we assume. It seems likely the savages will harness Indra with Bernard as their leader. Brave New World ending explained - what's in the box? However, it definitely opens up territory for a season two, though such a thing has yet to be confirmed. Indra was a new element added to the plot especially for the remake, and ironically that story is probably one of the show's weakest points, as it's unnecessarily convoluted.

We then cut to Lenina, far away, surveying a green and modern landscape – which doesn't look like New London – she looks outwards before smiling. However, it's soon revealed he's not actually with her, as he's using a 'Sprite', a piece of technology projecting Lenina, and he's living alone in a run-down city, perhaps beneath New London. Mustafa warns Indra is still out there, like a lost and angry hurt child, and warns she could do bad things.įinally, we see John living a seemingly idyllic life with Lenina, similar to the one he described when they first got together. Lenina Crowne is seen speaking with Mustafa, presumably being offered the role as the new Director of Stability, or something similar, as she asks 'Why me?' and Mustafa tells her because she's 'different'.
