Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which William Shakespeare play inspired the title of Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World?"
...The title of Brave New World comes directly from a memorable line spoken by Miranda in The Tempest, one of William Shakespeare’s late romances. Upon seeing new people arrive on the island, Miranda exclaims, “O brave new world, that has such people in’t!” Aldous Huxley deliberately adopted the phrase ironically, using it as the title of his dystopian novel to sharply contrast the youthful optimism of the line with a future society defined by enforced conformity, rigid social control, technological conditioning, and the profound loss of individuality.
