The Historical Perspectives and Huxley use of these in BNW

Here are some historical facts/events/ideas which were a part of the 1930s social life that Huxley knew of, examined and integrated in the novel:

1. On the international political scene: the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, the dictatorship of Mussolini in Italy, and the Nazi Party movement in Germany.

2. As far as the economy was concerned, tremendous economic changes in and between individual countries took place - bigger factories, an increase in the consumption and production of manufactured goods, the advent of mass-produced automobiles. Big business used and misused the individual - man became important as a producer and a consumer. Industry exploited the individual by molding him according to its image and likeness.

3. Urbanization takes full swing: as people are moving to the cities, there is noticable change in attitude and point of view. As "one of the crowd" the individual is not responsible for himself/herself, or for anybody else - having lost his or her individuality, people have also lost their respect for individuality.



The question is: How is he using this very palpable historical knowledge to weave out the narrative of the novel? Is her creating an allegorical novel?
