With regards to my research question, my investigation of language in the novel of study has been very effective, and impactful. Being a researched-based EE, I have managed to find the elements of intertextuality I wish to analyze with great success. Moreover, I have been able to discover my own links between previous texts I have studied, and their presence within ‘Brave New World’. This different approach of analysis of a very well-studied novel is unorthodox, yet I find great enjoyment in discovering the literary heritage in Huxley’s work. Not only has this developed my research skills, but helped shape my analytical thought process by broadening my understanding of how intertextuality is omnipresent in literature, and how this affects the originality of any written piece. Ultimately, the learning from the writing of this Extended Essay has influenced me deeply. I begin more and more to understand the complex mechanism of literature, and how everything is, in essence, a pastiche of previous work with a touch of originality.
