Brave New World - Chapter 4

• Allusion: Melancholy referring to Bernard's face > beginning of pharmaceutical work, saying how all things have a chemical equation
• Alliteration: "roof" > animalistic features to the lower class elevator man > also described as "doggily expectant," and commanded to "go down, go down."
• Allusion: Marx > leaderless society, the reason why Bernard is the one that is going to question his society
• Metaphor: Lenina with Henry floating above London > "The huge table-topped buildings were no more, in a few seconds, than a bed of geometrical mushrooms sprouting from the green of park and garden."
• Simile: Lenina looks on at workers changing shift > "Like aphides and ants, the leaf-green Gamma girls, the black Semi-Morons swarmed around the entrances.."
• "I am I, and wish I wasn't" > Bernard on his self-consciousness
• Simile: "...men who took their position for granted; men who moved through the caste system as a fish through water- so utterly at home as to be unaware either of themselves or of the beneficent and comfortable element in which they had their being."
• Characterization: Helmholtz Watson > "powerfully built man, deep chested... springly and agile...every centimeter an Alpha-Plus. ...had also become aware of his differences from the people who surrounded him."
