Abstract
This paper deals with how motherhood is represented in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and Lois Lowry’s The Giver. The two societies represented in the novels have both adopted different methods that have replaced natural human procreation – the unnamed society of The Giver has chosen surrogacy, while the more technologically advanced World State opted for human engineering using in-vitro fertilisation. Although the methods themselves are completely different, both societies have a strong negative attitude towards the traditional notion of motherhood. The society of Brave New World rejects the very notion of it and deems it shameful and obscene. While The Giver’s community still understands and practices the concept of the nuclear family, it is far from what it typically implies. The main focus of this paper is to explain that a once noble and revered role got transferred to the fringes of society because of World State's aim to retain stability and The Giver's community's efforts to remove pain and suffering. In order for this to happen, the attitude towards family and birth were changed and mothers are denied dignity and autonomy over their own bodies in the novels.
