Who's Who in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932)
Murder kills only the individual—and, after all, what is an individual? After his mother Linda's death, the Savage becomes ever more disillusioned with utopian society. Only its thin ghost continued to mutter from beneath the eighty pillows. Gammas are semi-skilled workers, and they wear green. His manner is charmless, self-important and didactic. From the ranks of the crawling babies came little squeals of excitement, gurgles and twitterings of pleasure.
Because he had so many insane, excruciating things to get excited about. Gammas wear green, Deltas wear khakis, and Epsilons wear black. What is the plan for her? After Bernard introduces them, John and Helmholtz quickly take to each other. The explosions ceased, the bells stopped ringing, the shriek of the siren died down from tone to tone into silence. In the quest for an ever more stable society, not only are the bonds of family obliterated, but people are also predestined from conception for their role in life.
Additionally, Gammas have their growth stunted from birth through chemical interference to limit their intelligence. After the ritual they meet John, a fair-skinned young man who is isolated from the rest of the village. Just below the Alphas are the Betas. You can't learn a science unless you know what it's all about. Let's take a step back and discuss the social commentary that the author was making with all this talk of castes. And Epsilons are still worse. They witness a religious ritual in which a young man is whipped, and find it abhorrent.
Conditioning is to have a significant influence on or determine the manner or outcome of something. His conditioning is clearly incomplete. But Bernard turns the tables by introducing John and Linda. The adult's mind too—all his life long. That howl, the Director made it plain, discouraged the earliest investigators. He debates passionately and eruditely with World Controller Mustapha Mond on the competing merits of primitivism versus the World State. The Savage loves and desires Lenina; but owing to his quixotic nature, he is repelled by her forwardness and the prospect of pre-marital sex.

What is the purpose of the Service? The students followed him, desperately scribbling as they walked and all the way up in the lift. On returning with relief to civilisation, she tries and fails to seduce John the Savage. Bernard, overjoyed but embarrassed, flies a helicopter to meet a friend of his, Helmholtz Watson. Guilt-ridden, he finally hangs himself after - we are given to infer - he has taken the soma he so despises and succumbed to an orgiastic debauch. It was decided to abolish the love of nature, at any rate among the lower classes; to abolish the love of nature, but not the tendency to consume transport. Big bowls, packed tight with blossom. Even Deltas and Epsilons are content to do their manual labour.
Deltas are low-skill workers, such as packaging employees and machinists, and they are dressed in khaki. But all these suggestions are our suggestions! The principle had been discovered; but many, many years were to elapse before that principle was usefully applied. Gammas The Gammas, on the other hand, feel much more disconnected from the higher castes. While the lucky few are able to escape their castes, like Bernard Marx, some can only escape with death, as was the case with John the Savage. And, lifting his hand, he gave the signal.
I'm awfully glad I'm a Beta, because I don't work so hard. This in a sense is alot like the novel Brave New World. Read an Bernard Marx - An Alpha male who fails to fit in because of his inferior physical stature. He quickly takes advantage of his new status, sleeping with many women and hosting dinner parties with important guests, most of whom dislike Bernard but are willing to placate him if it means they get to meet John. Where can one find it? She ages and grows fat in the medically primitive conditions of the Reservation. Bernard's independence of mind stems more from his inferiority-complex and depressive nature than any depth of philosophical conviction.
Alphas and Betas At the top of the caste hierarchy in Brave New World are the Alphas and the Betas. What literally made him ill? Thousands of petals, ripe-blown and silkily smooth, like the cheeks of innumerable little cherubs, but of cherubs, in that bright light, not exclusively pink and Aryan, but also luminously Chinese, also Mexican, also apoplectic with too much blowing of celestial trumpets, also pale as death, pale with the posthumous whiteness of marble. The screaming of the babies suddenly changed its tone. American troops were captured and killed by the thousands in Korea. He still keeps a small library of forbidden books in his safe. In his youth, Mond had himself flirted with doing illicit scientific research and heterodox belief. There was a violent explosion.
