| Abstract: | The paper expands upon Huxley’s novel “Brave New World” approached via Lacan’s socio-psychological model with a view to underlining how the novelist’s irony can coexist with his need for warmth, for human feelings, for human understanding. Lacan’s three registers of human reality will be closely analyzed in relation to Huxley’s characters in order to prove their loss of identity within an artificially constructed social and political environment. |
| Key words: | Huxley, Lacan, human understanding, irony, register, the imaginary, the symbolic |
