Who Is Will Farnaby?

Yazan: -



























 Because the story goes on from Will’s perpective, we can see so many different sides of him. The story starts with a memory, he remembers his ex wife, Molly. They are in the hospital, because she had an accident. Just before a couple hours from the accident, Will broke up with Molly, that’s why he feels guilty. He feels guilt more then sadness. This is an intimate confession that he makes himself. He cheated on his wife too many times. If in one side there is the woman who he care about and his pleasure in the other side, he chooses his pleasure.


He is not exactly a loyal man. He had an another affair with a woman named Babs. But now, they are very far away from him. They are in an another world. Will, he is in Pala now, the forbidden island. 



 And it all begins.


 We can see that he is affected by the arrival to Pala. The storm, the snakes… He feels fear and despair, until the little girl Mary convince him there is nothing to be scared, not anymore. He is open-minded, knows that he can learn something from anyone, even though they’re children.







 He is a journalist and his original plan was to persuade the Queen Mother to use the oil of Pala. If he could do that, he would gain money enough to give him a full year of freedom. Instead he found himself on the island.

HOW DO THINGS WORK IN PALA?   Until his last novel, Island, Aldous Huxley was known as a counter-utopia author. One of the best known novel, Brave New World, is based on the assumption that science can dominate the world and bring happiness to humanity. But it is not good enough for people according to Huxley. As i researched, Huxley was watching the world and learning from the events how the science can be used to destroy humanity in the hands of bad managers, the rapid increase of the world population, the passion of consumption, the technology dependence of people. But he manages to maintain his optimistic look. He built this island, Pala. Thinking in Pala is as free as possible, there is no obstacle to human abilities and creativity.   What kind of an island is this Pala? In the region of the Indonesian archipelago, Pala is a fantastic island. It is a mountainous island, separated from the neighboring island of Rendang by a sea gorge. Pala has rich oil, gol...

Utopian Philosophy and Its Reciprocity in The Island

Yazan: -
"Nobody needs to go anywhere else. We are all, if we only knew it, already there." Utopia, is the idealized "no place" or "nowhere" first described by Thomas More. In Huxley's writing, the first time we come across the manifestation of perfection when Will encounters the two children of the island, describing their pure appearance: Will looked from one child to the other. How beautiful they were, and how faultless, how extraordinarily elegant! Like two little thoroughbreds. Like many other utopian literary examples, idealization is sustained by the basic principles that have been established. These are presented to our outsider character Will Farnaby shortly after he arrives: "It merely states the underlying principles. Read about those first... You'll have a better understanding of what was actually done if you start by knowing what had to be done—what always and everywhere has to be done by anyone who has a clear idea about what's ...

                                                  In the book, they think of children who have crime-prone character as Peter Pan, and this is explained with examples from the life and personality of the hits. The quote from the book describes the advanced thinking on the island.    "Read the Fiihrer's biography," said Dr. Robert. "A Peter Pan if ever there was one. Hopeless at school. Incapable either of competing or co-operating. Envying all the normally successful boys—and, because he envied, hating them and, to make himself feel better, despising them as inferior beings. Then came the time for puberty. But Adolf was sexually backward. Other boys made advances to girls, and the girls responded. Adolf was too shy, too uncertain of his manhood. And all the time incapable of steady work, at home only in the compensatory Other World of his f...
