Document Summary
Eisenstein: montage = musicalization of fiction, splice: joining/connecting of clips. Mustapha mond ruler of the western world. Soma also means body affects both mental and physical. Chapter 1 & 2: introduction + exposition. Chapter 3: the introduction of the two main protagonists, girls definitely do not run society here, economy aimed at making all people consumers, lenina crowne. From lenina and fanny we get a sense of sexuality: bernard marx. Not a perfectly adjusted man of the brave new world. Neurotic conflicted between what he wants to do and what he should be doing. Romantic, loves nature, wants a monogamous relationship. We can relate and understand these characters and their relationships. Without these two characters, bnw would simply be an interesting setting, not a story. She does have a monogamous relationship with henry foster (four months) much to the dismay of fanny. Develops feelings for lenina, born and lives in the natural world, not the bnw.
