hello, welcome to my blog again, this time I will focus on the description and analysis of the characters of the literary text "brave new world"; I'm going to start saying the characters that I identify within it; two main characters and one secondary character; However, I think it is important to mention an amniscent character, this is because it is the one that starts the book and allows the main contextualization that unfolds in the literary text, DHC, basically is the one that ensures that everything works perfectly within utopia, explains the whole process of creation of humanity within this "world" and defines himself as a rigorous figure; he is a character that does not evolve in his psychology and behavior so it can be said that he is a flat character.
Now, moving towards to the main characters I identify that Lenina and Bernard are those who fulfill these characteristics since all the facts of the book are developed through their attitudes, actions and decisions; Bernard is an Alpha plus that is blindly in love with Lenina (as it is very normal in Utopia), despite being of the highest category, he has some physical defects that abruptly affect his emotional development, he has a negative way of seeing life; in fact, in a part of the text he consumes SOMA (drug that basically makes you happy) something that he almost never did since he is not a compulsive consumer, as is most of the community, anyway, when the effect of this was ending and he saw everyone and everything around him he felt uncomfortable, as if it were something strange, unrecognizable. in account of the type of character that Bernard takes in the literary text, he is a static character since he does not present any evolution in his characteristics during the course of the book, his social ideology continues intact as well as his "feelings", this may be due to the disconnection with the environment in which he is present or perhaps because of his lack of emotion for life, or maybe because of his sensitive insecurity? . Finally, it is a complex character because he has different types of characteristics that make him have a constant internal debate about itself and about the decisions he must make. On the other hand we find Lenina which belongs to Beta, is a very attractive woman with a very large sexual desire, so her goal is not to fall in love, on the contrary, is to enjoy all the sexual pleasures, this is due to the hypnopedia; At work , she is in charge of supervising the reproduction department; She is described as a libertine and promiscuous woman. I consider that it is a round character as it evolves according to the fact that the events happen, in a natural way, however I consider that she is a very predictable character since she represents behaviors and ideas that are well known for what could be classified as a character stereotype, finally his characterization of dynamic character goes very hand in hand with his classification of character as it has modifications.
Finally, Mustafa is the secondary character, this is because he is one of the most important leaders of the society, which greatly influences the attitudes of the main characters (by the laws), is one of the few inhabitants who feel a taste for literature, in the book says that he likes to read Shakespeare, in the other hand I think it is important to mention that the course of the literary text shows us how is his perfect idea of the world and its reasons for modifying it.
every time I am more surprised by this book, the characters inspire me to think about current society and its functioning, I really find an interesting analogy, for all lovers of literature this is definitely a good book, I recommend it.
