Brave New Essay Topic

It seems undeniable that most World State members are happy, but at what cost? Some, like John, Bernard, and Helmholtz criticize the quality of life in the World State.  Consider the results of stability being privileged over freedom, and decide what, if anything, is wrong with the World State’s society.
  
Analyze the character of Bernard Marx.  In what ways is he admirable? In what ways is he less than admirable?  Overall, how would you characterize his motivations and actions?  Explore the function his character plays in the novel. What purpose does he serve?

I would go about the first prompt by getting more information on how the characters see themselves. This will give me information about there lives and if they see themselves as being happy. I would base the way they live and tie it into there freedom.

I would answer the second prompt by showing how Bernard has some humanity in the story. This is uncommon in the book.
