Soma

interesting culture. Unlike ours, Brave New World has a more complex culture. Our world is not close to Brave New World. In Brave New World their population is developed in bottles, their population is conditioned by the state, and controlled with soma. In today’s world, children have mothers and fathers and are born naturally. In Brave New World children are born scientifically, they’re born in bottles. In Brave New World the word mother and father is slam. They don’t have mothers and fathers…

Similarly, another invention in this Brave New World that toggles with one 's feelings is a drug called soma, which makes citizens feel better instantly, and forget about any problems, but they do not have thoughts of their own and they conform to society without being individuals.

himself and purges himself for a quest of self-inflicted pain. Once others discover he is there, and watch a feely that was made about him, everyone wants to come see him. Many people, including Lenina, come to John’s lighthouse and induce John with soma, which leads to a giant orgy. The next day John realizes what he has done and can not acknowledge what happened the night before, the first arrivals appear and go inside the lighthouse searching for John, “The door of the lighthouse was ajar.…

In the novel, soma, a powerful drug, is promoted unconditionally by both society members and the government. Both New World members and government believe that soma is the panacea, the cure-all, for all negative aspects of life, allowing the user to forget all problems and experience pure bliss. Soma is so powerful that rioting, enraged individuals will be “kissing and hugging one another… in a comprehensive embrace” within intoxication or consumption (Huxley 215). “Soma holidays” are vacations…

and feeling an outsider he behaved like one” (Huxley 65). Bernard also has beliefs that are not in line with the norms of the society. For example, Bernard, does not drink soma, does not like promiscuous sex, and is in love solely with Lenina. The D.H.C. reinforced this in saying, “by his heretical views on sport and soma, by his scandalous unorthodoxy of his sexlife… he has proved himself an enemy of Society” (Huxley 149). All of these nonconformities do eventually catch up with Bernard and…

accepted and we came to my apartment, there after drinking a glass of wine I starting to seduce him I was really anxios to have sex with him, but you won´t imagine what happeded HE DIDN´T WANT TO.

I started to hit him and asked him to leave, but insted of doing it, he sang me a song and with kidness talked to me about beautiful things that he called FEELING. He talked about a man named…

of motif. The theme of brainwashing constantly shows up throughout the story with the consumption of “soma” and the use of hypnopaedia in infants. “Soma” is a type of medicine that controls the person's emotions and behavior, and is often used as an escape from society when a person is too stressed. At one point in the novel, chapter 9, Lenina consistently takes soma and eventually enters “soma-holiday” which basically means that she has overdosed. This event is an allusion to the regular use of…

citizens’ age while being constantly conditioned or influenced by leaders to have no fear to prevent chaos and sadness. They are conditioned to have no fear of dying, convinced that when they become old they will have a wonderful time in the luxury of soma, scents and…

uncomfortable in the emotionless and intellectually vacuous utopia” (Sova). He finds their conformity appalling and rejects their unethical values. He becomes so infuriated with their way of life that he causes a spectacle at the hospital by throwing away soma and exclaiming, "Don’t you want to be free and men? Don’t you even understand what manhood and freedom are?” (Huxley 213). Because of this unorthodox out lash of rebellion John is arrested and taken to Mustapha Mond, one of the World…

science is found as a disturbing element for the community. Such people who are like Bernard and Helmholtz need to accept the regime or to be expatriated if disobeyed. To cure the "disagreement" sickness that leads into instability, people better take soma. People are meant to obey as they were learnt to, as their creators predestined them. Creators decant "babies as socialized human beings, as Alphas or Epsilons, as future sewage workers or future World…
