“Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right; north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west…” (Huxley, 259). John’s body dangled, lifeless, from the ceiling of the light house. This scene is the conclussion for Aldous Huxley’s book Brave New World. Huxley creates a dystopian society called the world state where children are created in laboratories with certain genetically manipulated characteristics that fit their place in the caste system. This caste system is composed if Alphas, the highest level, betas, deltas, gammas, and epsilons, in their respective order. The government uses this caste system along with sleep teaching and conditioning to control the people of the world state.
