Today we'll be discussing Part 1 of 1984, as well as doing a comparison of the last two films and the text. To aid us, we'll be looking at an essay written by Aldous Huxley, written about 30 years after he wrote Brave New World, called Brave New World Revisited. This is the essay embedded below:
Brave New World Revisited
Please remember--we will be starting Part 2 of the text tomorrow. That means you need to be at or very near p. 104 in your reading by the end of today! Please keep up!
I am as free as nature first made man,
Ere the base laws of servitude began,
When wild in woods the noble savage ran.
-Dryden, The Conquest of Grenada
