How does Huxley employ the use of irony in Brave New World?

For the most part, Aldous Huxley's Brave New
World is a dark satire about the misuse of science in a society, and at times
a parody of evangelical revivals and virtual reality films; however, there are instances
of irony, contradictions between what is perceived and what actually is, in his
disturbing work.  Here are some examples:

1. It is
   ironic that the Director of Hatcheries, who predestines and conditions and instructs the
   residents of the New World on the sordidness of natural reproduction, should be a
   natural father himself.


2. Despite the genetic engineering
   of the Hatchery, the hypnopaedia, individuality survives the conditioning of the New
   World. Bernard Marx and Helmholtz Watson are two dissidents who display several
   out-of-the-norm behaviors.


3. Infantile behavior is
   encouraged in the society of the New World.


4. The New
   World, John learns, is anything but the Shakespearean "brave new world" he first
   imagines it.


5. Linda longs to return to the New World only
   to be rejected and die.


6. John delights also in the New
   World at first and perceives Lenina as an ideal, but learns
   otherwise.


7. Bernard wants to be an individual, but when he
   brings John back with him, he exploits John to serve his
   popularity.


8. When Bernard learns that he is being sent to
   Iceland, he loses all his aplomb and becomes servile in his effort to stay in the New
   World while Helmhotz delights in the idea.


9. John is
   anything but a "savage"; rather, he is an individual of high sentiments and chivalric
   sensitivities.


10. John comes to the New World thinking he
    will be happier there than on the reservation.


11. Mustapha
    Mond, one of the seven world Controllers, reads the Bible, and Shakespeare and other
    works banned in the New World.


12. Mond remarks, "What fun it
    would be....if one didn't have to think about happiness." (Chapter
    12)


13. Happiness and truth cannot exist together in the New
    World.


14. The New World is not a utopia:  Women have to take
    Pregnancy Substitutes; soma must be taken to relieve anxieties and
    for the government to control people. Moreover, the New World develops into a
    welfare-tyranny rather than a utopia.
