Brave New World Character Question
Is Hemholtz's happiness shown in chapter 12, the same kind of happiness and fufillment that his fellow citizens feel? Is the fact that Hemholtz is happy in conflict with Huxley's statement in the foreword that happiness should be secondary to the pursuit of humanity's final end? Is it possible for troubles or unpleasant experience to make one happy?
No grade- No i think that the happiness that Hemholtz shares in chapter 12 is a much different happiness then the rest of the citizens. Yes, the fact that Hamholtz is happy is very much so in conflict with Huxley's statement shown in the foreword saying that happiness should be secondary to the pursuit of humanity's final end. And finally yes, i do think that it is possible for troubles or unpleasant experiences to make one happy. Because in every situation, there is something good that could come out of it. The fact that Hemholtz is happy surprises the other situation in a sense that they are not as happy as him, but basically Hemholtz is able to find some sort of happiness in every situation unlike other citizens who just look at the basics of situations rather then the deep and true meaning behind the specific situations.
