The 1920’s were a period of tension between new and changing attitudes on one hand and traditional values and nostalgia on the other. Following WWI it was a transitional time period to modernization, and the old America was being forgotten. From the old and new to urban and rural, generations were feuding over the advancement of American Society. To a great extent social, economic, and cultural changes affected the leading tensions between the old and the new and was manifested greatly by those.

Bernard juxtaposes Helmholtz. He is an Alpha-Plus who fails to fit in with his caste due to his scrawny physique. His physical stature is no different than those of the average Gamma. It is evident that his conditioning is incomplete as he doesn’t enjoy community events, promiscuous sex, or sports and doesn’t see the need to take soma. Helmholtz is handsome, physically superior, can get any female he chooses, and is more intelligent than Bernard. Unlike Bernard, he is also well respected and is very comfortable in his caste.

Aldous Huxley’s compelling futuristic novel, Brave New World, takes place in an elaborately constructed society whose citizens have their intellect highly conditioned from birth to be entirely “jolly” [as stated in the text] throughout life merely through superficial fulfillment that the government is able to provide. However, the perpetually gleeful yet blind citizens are stripped of their dignity, compassion, values and morals-ultimately losing their human emotions without the realization that they’ve lost such an important aspect in life.
