Two questions about BNW:
1. Why did Huxley have John hang himself at the end of the story?
2. What was Huxley trying to show by having John lash out on Lenina like he did when she came to see him at the lighthouse?
Question about 1984 & BNW:
1. If our society today was to become like one of these societies, which one would it become?

"Communist Utopia" by Thomas Hornung
1. In this painting, the multiple eyes indicate communism. It looks like the eyes are staring right at the man as he does a simple thing like walking down the street. It shows total control and how the people in a communist government have no privacy.
2. The artist's view of communism is that it is a negative thing and that people who live in communist governments don't have any privacy. He shows that it is a dismal and dreary thing by painting most things gray, other than the eyes that represent communism.
3. The title "Communist Utopia" means that this setting would be a utopia to people in charge of a communist government or that support it. The man has no privacy, which would be like a utopia to communist people.
