The Body as a Metaphor for the Scientific, Social, and Political Transformation in Aldous Huxley's Point Counter Point

Abstract

Aldous Huxley’s Point Counter Point can be analysed through several cultural, literary, and scientific theories and methods which appeared during the years of the beginning of the 20th century. His mode of representation of the world around himself depicts manifold scientific theories and hidden social and political connotations of the 1920s through employing the image of the body. He can make a whole presentment of the cycle of life from the beginning until the end of the novel with the help of using the animal and human bodily constructions as a metaphor for the scientific, social and political changes.
