"From time to time he stretched out his arms as though he were on the Cross..." Pg. 244
Ever since his decision not to pursue Lenina sexually and stick to his morals, John has taken on an uncanny disposition similar to Christ. In fact, this was probably propelled by his debate with Mr. Mond on the essentiality of God in a stabile world. Later on, John decides to whip himself, drawing a spectacle of reporters. All the attention was unwanted and unwarranted. I drew parallels to Christ in the Temple when he went on his hopital rampage. After his talk with Mr. Mond, he was essentially marginalized and left to live simply off the earth and the land. The only disparateness occurs the night before he dies. He sins against his own personal standards due to the influence of society.

Chapter 18
"That evening the swarm of helicopters that came buzzing..." Pg. 259
The end of the book contains some irony and tragedy. I found it ironic that even as an exile, the Savage was still constantly harassed by reporters and gawkers. This is perhaps the most accurate prophesy in the book. Nowadays, it seems like no one is safe from suffocating media attention. Privacy is certainly dead. The tragedy is obviously the death of John. When he was talking with the Controller, I got the sense that this world was so airtight that there was no way John could have lived out his life of suffering in peace. The irony continues with his death though. As part of the satire, Huxley creates a character that ends up dying from the psychological impact of continued pleasure, despite his noble attempt to reject the whole world around him.

Chapter 17
"'What about self-denial, then? If you had a God , you'd have a reason for self-denial.'" Pg. 236
In Chapter 17, a intellectual debate begins between Mr. Mond and John. John questions the Controller on the absence of God, the issue of self-degradation, and chastity, among other things. For each question, the Controller essentially says that the new world has no need for that concern because everything is stable the way it is. When John counters, the ultimate logic is that the World State has chosen a society where stability and happiness are valued over nobility and independence. This decision must have be heavily influenced by the Nine Year's War. The people must have been so scarred by the horrors of war that no abstract old world emotion will cause them to change. Such is the nature of war. Fortunately, nothing like that war has taken place. Had it occured, Huxley would look like a prophet of old times.

Chapter 16
"And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune,..." Pg. 221
Throughout the novel, I was under the impression that the Controllers of the World State were sinister beings bent on dehumanizing every last piece of society. Then Mr. Mond explained that lasting happiness has a price. While I do not totally agree with his logic, much of it is true. The world has advanced technologically, medically, and even ethically since several hundred years ago. The ever-present truth though, is that we may win some big battles against oppression and strife, but the world will never be completely just. We will always have something to work for, no matter how small or large. I believe this is what gives people fulfillment. We take on the challenge and sometimes emerge victorious. Leaders of the World State chose to forgo the fulfillment for stability. This was due to the horrors of the Nine Year's War.

Chapter 15
"'He's mad,' whispered Bernard." Pg. 213
In the climax of the novel, John can no longer stand theWorld State any longer. At the sight of the twins standing over his dead mother, he bursts into a rampage, throwing pill boxes and announcing that each one of them can be free. What I found most absurb was the fact that Bernard, a supposed friend of John's, was afraid for the lives of the Deltas, people he did not even know. He himself had once felt emotions of a greater freedom, and now, in John's darkest time, he seemingly abandons him to ride out this rampage. Then, he tries to escape out a side door because of his association with John. I suppose social freedom includes extreme cowardice. If I were John, I would be infuriated more at Bernard than the twins. Bernard shows his true colors in this climax.

Lenina
"...the Savage retreated in terror, flapping his hands at her as though he were trying to scare away some intruding and dangerous animal." Pg. 193
The Savage's reaction to Lenina's advances can be taken as an allegory-that is, once you get past thinking of Lenina as a dumb blonde who can't take a hint. Lenina is purely a temptation; self-gratification. John can be thought of as a trusted leader. Men or women in leadership/business roles spend years going through school, earning a credible reputation, and grooming social skills. Yet, when one of these leaders gets caught being sneaky or immoral, the fallout is enormous. They get labeled for life as a crook or a deviant. John is much the same. Because he came from a strange, intriguing background, he can be labeled in one of two ways. He can stay like he is, being a social oddity, or he can give in to Lenina, thereby initiating him into typical Alpha behavior. For John, he holds a much higher standard for himself. He is not nescessarily manipulating, but would rather Lenina come to him honorably, like a Shakespeare work.

Pearls before swine
"'You've got to be hurt and upset; otherwise you can't think of the really good, penetrating, X-rayish phrases.'" Pg. 185
Helmholtz is correct in his above phrase. It is impossible to write without an emotional motive to make the words interesting. The things that were so insane to Helmholtz-the Capulets denying Juliet's desires and Tybalt's death-stemmed from human conflict and wrought emotion. Yet, Helmholtz himself forgets that his own writing stems from his emotion. Earlier in the chapter, he recited a poem about solidarity-a forbidden action. He said he had to use the "power" inside him. John is offended by Helmholtz's criticism of Shakespeare, deepening his resentment of the shallow nature of the new world. While John values the thought put into each sentence, the others regard it as nonsense. They still cannot grasp the idea of suppressed impulse.

Satire
"...and the film ended happily and decorously, with the Beta blonde becoming the mistress of all her three rescuers." Pg. 169
When I first read this passage, nothing struck me as unusual. By now I know the World State as a place of promiscuity and immorality, so this "feely" seemed normal. However, what would Huxley's early readers think of this open talk of immorality? I guess it is better to look at the novel in a more modern sense. Unlike the 1950s, people today are more willing to give into desires. We want a more immoral form of entertainment, where it is fun to do the wrong thing. This is where Huxley again presents the satire. Whether I like it or not, I do have some things in common with Alphas. Enjoyment can come from rebelling and pleasing my own desires. I may never devise a plan to control social thinking, but I am a sinner.

A Challenge
"'... that I agree with the savage in finding civilized infantility too easy or, as he put it, not expensive enough.'"
Pg. 159
As soon as I read the last part of this quote, the phrase struck me as a relavent adage. Although I may be goin off on a tangent, John's description of this civilized life holds true for not just me but millions of people. Although none of us live in this "brave new world," many of us strive to make our lives better. Making life better comes at a cost. We must give up time, energy, and resources. Although many people work to rid out social injustices like poverty and taxes, I believe we all need those challenges in front of us. We want the dignity of knowing we earned our keep. John is taken aback by this absence. Through his time in the Reservation and his study of Shakespeare, he learned that caring for something also takes effort. He comes in hoping to love his new world but finds nothing and no one of substance to love.

The Tragedy of Family
"...or rather the ex-Director, for the poor man had resigned immediately afterwards and never set foot indside the Centre again-..." Pg. 153
At the beginning of the novel, the students' ears were pierced with the sound of the word "father." Once again, the word brings humiliation to the Director. While it is sad that such a word can ruin a career because it implies that two people loved enough to create their own child, the true tragedy is the elbowing for social acceptance which uses the relationship of John and the Director as a sort of damaging gossip. Characters like the Director have nothing else to strive for in life besides social standing. That's the problem with having everytning you ever need. John is the outlier in this situation. He has no ambition of being involved with the caste system because he feels the need to be close to Lenina. While his old world inhibits him from doing so, the world he is now a part of encourages it, and he struggles with the World State mindset.

Metaphor
"...No, he didn't. The bird was too dangerous. His hand dropped back." Pg. 144
John has the fortunate dilemma of being familiar with literature. Just before he dares to touch Lenina, he quotes lines of Shakespeare. This familiarity does not exactly lend itself to his own happiness, but John has a much better idea of the expectations in the brave, cruel world outside the Reservation. This will serve him well once he leaves. I find it interesting that this is one of the first times Huxley describes a character as anything other than a human being. It is possible that the metaphor is to suggest what was said above: that John is literary enough to think of people deeper than living objects. He attributes them to creatures with personalities and unengineered traits. When I ponder John's thought process, it becomes clear why the World State prohibits unstructured thinking. The savages know much more than their "superior" Alphas.

Diction
"...he was thinking of Lenina, of an angel in bottle-green viscose, lustrous with youtha and skin food, plump, benevolently smiling." Pg. 139
While writing this novel, Huxley had to employ several forms of diction. For one, he has his own narration, consisting of words like "lecherous" and "viscose." She msut also write in the dialogue of futuristic Londoners as well as savages, the equivalent of modern-day commoners. He achieves accurate descriptions well because he own narration makes up for where the dialogue of the characters leaves off. Most of the characters, Alphas included, do not openly use educated vocabulary due to their limited conditioning and absence of literature. Their days are so scheduled that they do not have time to simply pleasure read. The fear is that desires of freedom, such as Bernard's, will tear apart the World State. Huxley must think like an unknowing cast to add to the element of totalitarianism.

Aphorism
"'Civilization is Sterilization,' I used to say to them." Pg. 121
Just as the Pavlovian method is still viable today, this adage, though not commonly heard, makes perfect sense. In a way, it is also somewhat sad. Linda, the girl the Director lost in the desert, has been with the savages for some time, and she mostly talks about the hardships of such an uncivilized place. What she took away from the World State was a habit of cleanliness and comfort. She shows no signs of longing for Thomakin (aka the Director). She goes on to explain how the women there took offense to her sleeping with their husbands, as if fidelity and love were trivial matters. The Reservation also empowers Bernard even more. After his brush with the Director, he feels motivated to think thoughts of emotion, just as the people of the Reservation live life each day.

Flashback
'"But this sleep taught consolation did not seem to be very effective. Shaking his head, "I actually dream about it sometimes," the Director went in a low voice.' Pg. 97
As was stated earlier, the human emotion is often overpowering. Such is the case with the Director's flashback. He himself admits that his conditioning did not prepare him for the grief he feels when thinking of the lost girl in the desert. As quickly as he snaps into the flashback, he immediately chastizes Bernard for being empathetic. The verbal punsihment that follows hints at the severity of the control with which the World State is run. Alphas are supposed to be "infantile" and make every effort to fall in line. When a man as high up as the Director is willing to lash out at a colleague, it could very possibly mean that he is aware of the unethical nature of social engineering but not willing to let it be exploited.

Rising Action
"...I know quite well why I can't-what wwould it be like if I coule, if I were free-not enslaved by my conditioning." Pg. 91
Well, I do believe this confession was inevitable. When I thought about how the story would progress, I was almost certain someone would come along and disrupt, if not challenge, the solace the World State had built. If there were any appropriate candidate for it to come from, Bernard would be the individual. He is already disturbed by his own abnormalities. I see Bernard as becoming one of the most highly intelligent characters in the book simply because he has the audacity to question. He asks why he can't be happy in a different kind of way. He asks why he can't find his own happiness. I doubt Bernard has the power to change such a mammoth social structure. Nevertheless, this character will continue the rising action and add some variety to the brave new world.

Imagery
"Crimson at the horizon, the last of the sunset faded, through orange, upwards into yellow and pale watery green." Pg. 73
Sometimes people talk about imagery as something aesthetic. How cool is it to imagine a fading sun struggling to grasp onto the very last hill before drowning into darkness? In this instance though, the imagery preceeds the sight of a factory-like crematorium. The description forms a paradox of imagery. First I read of a majestic dusk. Then comes the image of burning bodies. The satire continues with this passage as well. We think of life as beautiful, something to be cherished. Then Henry produces a phrase about how we are useful even after death, referring to the phosporus they collect from the bodies. Undoubtedly a sunset is inspirational; however, life is something to be celebrated and now the roles are flipped.

Apostrophe
"'What a hideous color khaki is,' remarked Lenina, voicing the hypnopaedic prjudices of her caste." Pg. 62
In a piece of dialogue opposite of personification, Lenina displays the cruelty of this new world. Humans are classified by Greek letters, sexually exploited upon encouragement, and forced to live in engineered activity spaces. By this point, I was ready to let go of the fact that each individual in this novel was essentially treated like an object: a pawn in a robotic game of chess. Then, when exlaining Bernard, Huxley writes the sentence that Bernard and Watson "knew they were individuals." Of course the thought of a perfectly engineered world pains me and this passage gives me hope, but I believe the author throws in hope when its not expected. When Lenina refers to the Deltas below, she is not just objectifying the people. Every Alpha, and not just Lenina, has the human instict to know what makes them different originated from their own self-loathing. Like Bernard, this still exists and the leaders are still improving on it.

Personification
"Impulse arrested spills over, and the flood is feeling, the flood is passion, the flood is even madness:..." Pg. 43
I chose this phrase because it caused me to comtemplate what happens to normal feelings in such an airtight world. Despite the fact this passage goes on to say the emotions are "channeled into a calm well-being," the fact of the matter remains. Would such an engineered and calculated world be able to account for normal human impulse? As discussed before, the infants are conditioned to shy away fro the predetermined taboos of the World State. They seem to have that down to a science. However, our minds do not think like machines, no matter how much we want them to. We want, we desire, we dream of something different, constantly. Perhaps moderation is the key. Just like everything else in this world, emotion is cut down to an acceptable level.

Allusion
“NEO-PAVLOVIAN CONDITIONING ROOMS, announced the notice boards.” Pg. 19
I find some of the small details interesting regarding this “brave new world.” Huxley sets the novel far in the future. Yet, the scientific methods utilized are quite simplistic. The “NEW-PAVLOVIAN” signage refers to the Pavlovian theory of teaching the mind to associate an action with a physical impulse through repetition. When I think of a world hundreds of years in the future, I have the hope of scientific advances which can solve any problem imaginable. As the author probably knows well, it is hard to predict the future. However, it seems the most fool-proof methods remain the most timeless. In a paradoxical way, the use of contemporary method can ground the reader to a storyline that is so futuristic.
Parallelism
"Straight from the horse's mouth into the notebook. The boys scribbled like mad." Pg. 4
Directly from the beginning of the novel, the tone of the plot turns arrogant, even satirical. Huxley's repeated use of the lowly student spitting out information onto paper only a important person like the director would know suggests a highly caste-like world where elitists like the director have gained exclusive power of the rest of the public. Just like the information ground into the trainees' heads, parallelism works by engraining a seemingly unimportant notion into the mind. It's sort of "Inception"-like tactics. Obviously Huxley wants to paint a picture of a world where the masses have no control of fate. His world is a utopian oligarchy. Though I was at first focused on the plot, I soon became conscious of and concerned of the plausibility of this world. For this reason, the subliminal parallelistic tactics worked.
