Description:
This paper argues that the reason many of Aldous Huxley's character development techniques are connected to animal symbolism in his book "Point Counter Point," is that it makes the characters even more relatable. It shows that by doing this the reader can more accurately picture what the author is trying to convey through his comparisons.
From the Paper:
"In Point Counter Point, Aldous Huxley addresses economic, political, and sociological factors through the use of colorful imagery, which often includes the mention of animals. The majority of the characters in the novel are seeking constant stimulation by pursuing their animal desires. They demonstrate their willingness to regress to an animal state as a means of rationally surrendering to their animalistic needs. Therefore, by describing characters in Point Counter Point as animals, Huxley illustrates the disease of mankind by showing his flaws."Cite this Analytical Essay:
