![]() Down to epsilons which were seen as the lowest yet still usable for the dirty work. Alphas being the strongest, more attractive, and more intelligent. Caste were named after the greek alphabet, these caste (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, & Epsilon) were in a hierarchy format. Which then brought me into recognizing the classes of caste this society had. Each embryo or caste group were set at a specific revolution and were given certain liquids/chemicals to enhance or discourage certain traits made for that specific caste. For example the “Decanting Room” was a dark room in which the embryos would develop according to their designated caste. I was thinking to myself if only this was something scientifically possible today! Reading along I start to get familiar with the several rooms and the exact purpose they served in the growth of these embryos. Making ninety-six human beings grow where only one grew before. From eight to ninety-six buds, and every bud will grow into a perfectly formed embryo, and every embryo into a full-sized adult. But a bokanovskified egg will bud, will proliferate, will divide. “One egg, one embryo, one adult- normality. Learning about how they’ve managed to advance and improve the reproduction cycle using the “Bokanovsky’s Process” was remarkable. I felt as if I was on that same tour, learning and being fascinated by this state-of-the-art “hatchery” as they call it. This way of using the characters and create a situation in which it seems that the students are being shown around but in fact it is the reader that is being shown around the facility. I found it very interesting the way Huxley describes these areas in such a futuristic manner and so convincing It made me believe that this place was actually real. This character walks around a group of students introducing the different areas of the facility and describes what is done in specific each area. We also get introduced to the first character which happens to be the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning or D.H.C for short. The story begins with the a sort of “walk-through” of the facility, including detailed descriptions of the attire and of the people working here – “The overalls of the workers were white, their hands gloved with a pale corpse-coloured rubber.” (15). Beginning “A Brave New World” the first and second pages immediately caught my attention. ![]()
