Before even reading a book that consists of utopian beliefs and ideals, it’s fair to say that every person has thought about what it would be like to live such a way.

Communist/Marxist Influence and Connections in Brave New World “The literary term utopia denotes an illusionary place that projects the notion of a perfect society to the reader”(“Utopia”).

J.M. Reinoso once said “Happiness is distraction from the human tragedy”. In the novel Brave New World, soma acts as a distraction from the unpleasant life the characters are living. Mustapha Mond, world controller, describes soma as “Euphoric, narcotic, pleasantly hallucinant” (Chapter 3). The characters in the novel use soma as a way to relax and distract themselves in tense situations, as well as make them oblivious to the enslaved conditions in which they are living. Soma is used by the

place where I’m living at this moment: Salt Spring Island. I will talk about the Island and the people as far as I am able, given my short residence here (I just arrived 4 months ago). The Island is located in the Gulf Islands, in the Juan de Fuca Strait between Vancouver and Victoria in British Columbia, Canada.
