Caste Systems in the novel symbolize power, privilege, and inequality. Like in Brave New World, our society also has a caste system where the rich and poor, men and women, and white and poc, aren't equal with each other in terms of power, privilege, and wealth. Huxley uses the caste system to also show that we don't choose which part of the system we want to be in, but we are born into it.

Pg 210 "Linda had been a slave, Linda had died; others should live in freedom, and the world be made beautiful. A reparation, a duty. And suddenly it was luminously clear to the s average what he must do; it was as though a shutter had been opened, a curtain drawn back"
In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the two lover meet a tragic death, romanticized by the idea that after death they would be set free from the world and it's demand.
John comes to this conclusion and being a great fan of Shakespeare, John kills himself, hoping to find that freedom in a new world.

The author uses soma as a correlation to modern day drugs. Drugs being, technology, social media, and regular substances. Soma is a drug that is an escape for their society. Escaping their world by having a euphoric feel.
Technology and social media are our soma because we use that as an escape to relieve boredom or to fulfill our own loneliness.

The Shepherd "How sweet is the shepherd's sweet lot! From the moon to the evening he strays; He shall follow his sheep all the day, And his tongue shall be filled with praise.
For he hears the lambs' innocent call, And he hears the ewes' tender reply; He is watchful while they are in peace, For they know when their shepherd is nigh."
Everybody is the World State sees Ford as their God who started it all. The Good Shepherd in the bible represents Jesus who stays with his followers, the sheep feel safe because they know he is close to protect them no matter what comes. The World State's godlike figure is Ford where they follow his themes on mass production & consumption. Brave New World's way of running things follows his ideas, they talk to him for guidance & the stability of everybody belonging to everybody.

The author uses hypnopedia as one of the symbols to represent how humanity is taught ethical lessons from young as a form of conditioning. We are taught what is right and what is wrong from our parents, elderly, adults, and people of power. The morals and lessons that we learn shape us to who we are and we carry and apply that knowledge throughout our life just like in the novel.

John incredibly admires Shakespeare and his work, often throughout the book he quotes some lines from a few writings published by Shakespeare. Having a small recognition of real life, love, and feelings throughout Shakespeare writings represents the things that the people have lost throughout their conditioning. John on the other hand sees life for what it really is and thoroughly understands this writing as Hemholtz finds it foolish and funny since he isn’t used to real feelings and emotions like love.

Ford is a significant factor in the book and to the characters throughout their journey because they usually turn to him for faith or hope in life through their tough times. Another thing they turn to is soma although some don’t use it, so generally Ford is their overseer and guides them throughout life. Ford is viewed as a God and the highest person in their life, meaning they value him more than anyone else surrounding them. In our world this can be god, Allah, Buddha, etc. but their god is Ford.

This quote exemplifies the notion of soma acting as a symbol of a perfect word, a perfect reality that simply does not exist even in a Brave New World. Soma does not provide reality but instead delivers a trance that is quite addictive. This trance is similar to that of worldly objects such as technology today or during the time this novel was written, drugs (?)

It symbolizes how society uses drugs to control it people to make them happy even though they are really not happy.
