In Brave New World, what is Mustapha Mond's position on forbidden books?

It is in Chapter Sixteen that you need to turn to find the
answer to this question. This of course is the long-awaited confrontation between John
and Mustapha Mond. When John asks why he will not let his people have Shakespeare and
other prohibited classics, Mond explains his
reasoning:

"Because our world is not the same as Othello's
world. You can't make flivvers without steel--and you can't make tragedies without
social instability. The world's stable now. People are happy; they get what they want,
and they never want what they can't get. They're well off; they're safe; they're never
ill; they're not afraid of death; they're blissfully ignorant of passion and old age;
they're plagued with no mothers or fathers; they've got no wives, or children, or lovers
to feel strongly about; they're so conditioned that they can't help behaving as they
ought to behave. And if anything should go wrong, there's
soma."

Thus, according to
Mond, classics are prohibited because this brave new world is fundamentally different
from previous society. The world has changed to such an extent and humanity has changed
to such an extent that the jealousies, passions and loves in works like the plays of
Shakespeare would be as anachronistic to the population of this dystopian society as
Neanderthal grunting would be to us. They simply would not be able to understand the
first thing about works of literature that hark back to a completely different form of
society.
