O Brave New World, That Has Such People In't!

1984 was good, but if you ever wanted a bit more Shakespeare in it, go for a Brave New World! Really, really good. Someone asked me to choose between it and 1984, and I couldn't. Because they are essentially the same thing but different and both equally well written. Wonderful Dystopias!!!

This is one of those novels with an awesome character list because each name has like 5 meanings!!! Maybe I exaggerate, but they are really awesome.

John Savage - (The most basic, simple name in the English language describing his character)(Explains itself)

Bernard Marx - (First name meaning Brave Bear, very ironic) (And Marx. Just Marx.)

Helmholtz Watson - (After "Herman von" who believed in science's civilizing powers) (a common Brit name)

Lenina Crowne - (After Lenin, the one and only) (She had something about her that acted as a "crown" and drew people to her)

Mustapha Mond - (After, I believe, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk - founder of the Republic of Turkey and Kemalism, which promotes secularism and scientific progress) (Mond is the root for the world?)

Fanny Crowne - Just a name that is ordinary, I think. Symbolizes the common masses?

Henry Foster - (Henry Ford, obviously) (William Z. was an American Marxist)

Linda - Means "pretty," which is ironic because eventually she is anything but, and it is one of the things she mourns

Popé - Indian leader in 1670ish. Like those uncivilized people, he mixed his indian beliefs with Christian ideaology.

That's it for characters! Yay!
