HOW IT ENDS

HOW IT ENDS


 We know that this book is an utopia. That's why I thought it is going to have a happy ending. But surprise! It doesn't end with happy events. After every little detail we learned about Pala, after we think it is like a heaven, we saw it's end. Murugan brought Colonel Dipa and his soldiers, he let them use Pala for its oil and everything.


 While i was reading the book, i observed how Will improved himself. At first, he was a selfish man. He was cheating on his wife. Even though she died, he didn't feel much sadness. And before he came to the island, his mission was to convince Murugan to sell their oil to Will's boss. He was not worrying about Pala or its own natural values.


 Page by page, his personality changed. People showed him how things work in Pala and he impressed. His ideas started to change.


 However, Will's personality was not the only thing what was changing in the island. Murugan was almost 18 and it means that he is going to be the new Raja of Pala. His ideas don't match with the current management style. Well, his mother's ideas. They are the same things.


 This is a place which everything about life is different from the rest of the world. It enamours Will, he respects that, even he sometimes does not understand every process. Murugan is not like him. He learnt everything from his mother. He worships Colonel Dipa. Their thoughts are Murugan thoughts. And it is the end of the Pala.


"We try to change them, make them fit us. We hope a happy ending. But if things go wrong, we prepare ourselves to accept it," says Susila, about Murugan and Rani's plans. They can't send off Murugan and his mother from Pala, because it is forbidden. Rani is the Princess of Pala and Murugan is about to be the king. It is against to the international laws and it could be a war reason.

 Although they can't send them away from island, this is a huge step for Will to tell everything to Susila. Maybe we can call him as an honest man anymore. After this confess, Susila made him try the moksha-medicine. This is a real turning point for Will. His way of looking to the world is different now. He could build a life in Pala, he could be someone else, who he wants to be.

 But it is impossible now. In that night, at the time Murugan became 18, he let Colonel Dipa enter to Pala. They started to demolish things in the island. Writer didn't say it openly, but we understand they kill Dr. MacPhail.


 One hundred years of work is destroyed overnight.

 I did not expect that. Did you?

HOW DO THINGS WORK IN PALA?

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...
