The Tempest

The title of huxleys book is a quotation from the shakespeare act named the tempest, in which a magician and his daughter are caught on a faraway island, because they had to escape some murderers.
They live on that island, et quand les autres humains sont arrivées, the daughter of that magician ( Name of magician: Prospero,name of the daughter: Miranda) said
O, wonder! / How many goodly creatures are there here! / How beautious mankind is! O brave new world / That has such people in´t!" .
Huxley created a guy in his book, who is often called "the savage", but his real name is John. He was rised up in a reservation, but his mother told him how to write and to read, from shakespeares texts. So he quotes very often from Romeo and Juliet and The Tempest.
