Brave New World Ch 2 Analysis

Chapter 2

  • 3rd paragraph is full of imagery (when director opens the door)
  • viviparous - bringing forth live young that have developed inside the body of the parent: referring to how people used to be naturally born and delivered, contrary to the factory production of babies 
  • allusion to Henry Ford
  • "you can't learn science unless you know what it is about" - seems obvious but still applies to today: students just memorizing scientific terms and getting it all right on a matching quiz won't really help unless he or she understands the relation and meaning behind each term
  • Elementary class consciousness - propaganda on steroids
