Lenina thought train9/3/2023 ![]() I just really think that in these two chapters, Huxley is trying to show us that the characters in the book aren't individuals, they are almost like one person, the individual thought/being isn't important it is about the running of the whole/or big picture. Its like, your own body doesn't just belong to you, it belongs to EVERYONE, and neither does what you say.it is a part of the whole body or being. Not only are the people sharable physically, so are the discussions and thoughts they have with one another. The conversations between these characters is a jumble, it doesn't belong to one person, the conversation belongs to everyone. The other theme that the "blended" conversations help to illustrate is the idea that every member of the society belongs to one another. In once scene of the book, Lenina comments to Bernard about how much she would hate to be an Epsilon, and Bernard responds by saying that even the Epsilons are important too because they have a job, just like Lenina, that keeps their society running smoothly. This follows the theme found in the novel, that every character in the story, no matter their caste, has an equal amount to contribute to the society, every job is important to the overall growth of the society that they inhabit. By combining the conversations of the characters in this scene, Huxley gives us the impression that none of these conversations is more important than another, all of the conversations are of equal value because they are all helping to create the story. In chapters 3 and 4, Huxley juxtaposes several conversations from different characters together to create a scene that strengthens themes found in the book: the idea that everyone is an equal contributor to the society and that every member of the society belongs to everyone else. ![]()
