As the quote details, we cannot do much about the information we receive because we have no context in which to

Brave New World is a book about a futuristic Earth where people are made by science and trained to do certain tasks, as babies. One of the motifs of the story is divergence.

Shakespeare and the World State are extremely contradicting, while the World State wants to eliminate passion, and love, Shakespeare tries to propel it.

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.

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. When problems arise, the drug soma is a quick ‘solution’ to the distress it brings. An outcast to the new society, Bernard Marx struggles through his life, seeking to understand why his peer’s, such
