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.
