    Aldous Huxley / The Tempest (by Waterhouse) -> Brave New World

  5. Varun says:

    HUxley uncle and Miranda aunty from The Tempest
    The “brave new world” title comes (I’m sure you know) from Miranda’s exclamation when she sees the island to which she arrives. It’s full of music, exotic trees and creatures, a “white” magician, etc, so she feels it is as if she has discovered a new world

  6. chaitra says:

    B is the painting Miranda- The Tempest by John William Waterhouse.
    A is (guessing) Anthony hobson who wrote about the painter Waterhouse.

    Aldous Huxley
    Miranda (The Tempest)

    “O wonder!
    How many goodly creatures there are here!
    How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world
    That has such people in’t!”
    -Miranda, Act V, Scene I. The Tempest, by William Shakespeare

    “I want God. I want poetry. I want real danger. I want freedom. I want goodness. I want sin.”

    -John the Savage, Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley

    Shakespeare’s words spoken by Miranda, borrowed by Huxley, for the title of his most famous novel, have come to signify the horrors of a world where mankind has allowed technology to rule the human soul. Huxley’s novel, written in 1932, imagines a futuristic, totalitarian society where the individual exists for the state.
