I started to read Brave New World. I am going to introduce some of the information of the story. First, protagonist of this story is Bernard Marx, who is a psychologist working at Central London Hatching and Conditioning Centre. Antagonist, on the other hand, is not a person, but the World State or science, which was extremely developed. Although those who are living in such society are considered to be happy and peaceful, it also can be obstacle to spend really happy life. This story is told by the third person, because circumstances or incidents are written specifically. In addition, the story begins at Central London Hatching And Conditioning Centre in the year after ford 632. Since I haven't read so much yet, I don't catch the major conflict. However, I found a few conflicts so far. One of the conflicts I found was caused by people who were in various social classes. People, especially children, in upper class tended to look down on lower class. Another conflict was that people cannot allow to have their individual emotions, opinions and freedom. This is because they are "created" and controlled in my reed not to have individuals.
