The difference is that Mond sees the reality and even the value of individuality, but willingly sacrifices it for the sake of an orderly State. But through the various triumphs and downfalls of his characters, Huxley argues that even when individuality resists external pressures, it won’t thrive in a society that views individuals as dispensable and dangerous.īoth the Director and Mustapha Mond admit that human individuality is dispensable within their system. But these safeguards aren't enough for all the citizens of the World State, and they become aware of their individuality, which suggests that human individuality is irrepressible. Individualism, which encompasses an awareness of one's own opinions and abilities, the joys of personal relationship, and the accompanying sorrows of loneliness and isolation, is suppressed as aggressively as possible by the World State in order to maintain stability.

That doesn't mean the elimination of all people-it means the conditioning of those people so that they don't really think of themselves as individuals. All of World State society can be described as an effort to eliminate the individual from society.
