When walking into a mall you see different people from different classes. One would shop at boutiques while the others shop at outlets. However, some societies we hear about, take some measures to extreme. Class structure is harmful in Aldous Huxley novel Brave New World and Andrew Niccol Gattaca. These two show how easily people can be excluded by their societies. When examining the characters in both stories, we see that John and Vincent both think there is something wrong with their society. Yet when examining Linda and Irene we notice that both girls are obedient to society until they meet the protagonist and rebel slightly.

No one ever has a good day every single day. There are always bad days. Soma is used to take the stress and feeling or emotions away to feel happy and emotionless . Soma is also used so there wouldn't be any complication between people and everyone will say sustain, because everyone has the same attitude. Comparing to the theme class structure, when taking soma, many character/society feel relaxed and happy, yet when the soma is taken away, it would cause many disruption and balance between the caste system. “From the lift the Savage stepped out into the midst of them.
