This article argues the meaning of Huxleys book, saying that contrary to popular belief that it
portrays a vicious indictment of society it actually shows our idea of heaven: genetic
manipulation, sexual liberation, the war against aging, the leisure society. It seems to be very
credible as it elaborates on abstract concepts not just from the book but from many outside
sources as well.

The End of Utopia: A Study of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, analyzes the constant and
purposeful irony throughout the novel and how the clashing identities of the characters
compliment the development. The article is on the Literature Research Center in Cobb Digital
Library and was published in Becknell Universitys press.

Higdon, David Leon. "The provocations of Lenina in Huxley's Brave New World." International
Fiction Review 29.1-2 (2002): 78+. Literature Resource Center. Web. 9 Sept. 2014.
This article discusses the hatred Huxley has towards women in his novels and the horrible fates
he deals them. Lenina in Brave New World is the only main character that is a woman that has a
complex characteristic and Huxley actually puts effort into her character rather than her just
being a daft bimbo. Reliable source from Cobb virtual library and has many sources.

The author discusses the similarities between Othello and Brave New World. He draws parallels
between the two works plots. The article appears to be credible; it was on Cobb Digital Library
and uses specific evidence from both Brave New World and Othello.

53-55. Rpt. in Children's Literature Review. Ed. Dana Ferguson. Vol. 151. Detroit: Gale,
2010. Literature Resource Center. Web. 9 Sept. 2014.
This article argues that although women appeared equal to men, they actually were not because it
reinforces gender norms. Personally, I would not use this article as it appears to be grasping at
straws in terms of ideas and evidence, which it is severely lacking in. The author does not
incorporate many sources.

McQuillan, Gene. "The politics of allusion: Brave New World and The Debates About
Biotechnologies." Studies in the Humanities 33.1 (2006): 79+. Literature Resource
Center. Web. 9 Sept. 2014.
The politics of allusion: Brave New World and The Debates About Biotechnologies illustrates
how Huxleys novel is not an unrealistic speculation of the future as science is gaining control of
more and more aspects of life. The article is on the Literature Research Center and Literature
Criticism Online; both of which are reliable sites.

This article is basically explaining how to teach Brave New World to a class of students. While it
may not be an article about the purpose or hidden meaning of the novel, it can bring good insight
and understanding to the Brave New World group. The article is reliable because it is from Cobb
Digital Library.

Eighty-Four." Utopian Studies 10.1 (1999): 98. Literature Resource Center. Web. 9 Sept.

This article discusses the media use in Brave New World. How individuals are denied their
personal privacy and feelings but are allowed to do anything they want. Their desire is dead and
they cannot participate in sexual encounters but they are allowed to go see a cinema containing
sex scenes. The citizens in Brave New World can always observe but never commit. Reliable
source from Cobb virtual library and has many sources.

This article explains the different aspects of the novel and how Huxley managed to write the
book given the time period when it was written. This article is credible due to the authors deep
knowledge of the book and the site the essay was retrieved from.
