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.
