CMV:"Brave New World" was not Dystopian Fiction, and even had a happy ending

I never exactly saw how 'Brave New World' was considered Dystopian Fiction. Sure, it has all the trappings of dystopian society, but Aldous Huxley's London 632 A.F seems to be more a parody of modern life and the fledgling dystopian fiction genre, rather than a piece of dystopian fiction itself.

John dies, but it is on the note that he didn't sacrifice his freedom, leading to a heroic ending for him akin to Cyrano de Bergerac: Cyrano didn't lose his *panache*, and John doesn't lose his freedom.

 Bernard Marx and Helmholtz Watson are both exiled to Iceland--but ironically, it is a place of complete creative freedom, unsupervised living, and more of a reward than a punishment--a paradise for non-conformists. 
Marx reacts to this with displacement, satirising (in my view) those who are over-reliant on government protection and sanctioning, while Watson views it as an opportunity. Regardless, the ending was hardly sad.

I don't know, but these are just my conclusions. CMW.

They *broke* John. If you remember the ending, John gave into the orgy porgy and found that the society was gradually wiping away his resistance and morals despite his attempts to resist it. By killing himself, he was admitting that there was no possibility of existing inside society while being mentally separate-either you die mentally, kill yourself, or commit to self-exile.
