Part 1
--George Edzel (allusion)
--real places mixed in with not real places (literary allusion)
--repetition with "go down go down" and clause (anaphora, parallelism)
--the liftman's job it repetitive
--obstacle golf
--Lenina wants Bernard by making sexual puns
--no conflict, just interaction amongst each other
--sexual description starts with simile
--extended/metaphor of their sexual encounter
--extended metaphor when looking into distance
--many references to nature; microbial references; subhuman, leaf-green
--Lenina was a popular girl sleeping with many Alphas
--What is "Roof"? Why do they "Roof"?
--Benito Hoover has entered the scene
--reference to taking off in flight while having sex
Part 2
--Bernard felt guiltiest and more helplessly alone than ever
--he is very distressed and dislikes talk of the alcohol said to be in his blood-surrogate
--size was a universal ideal
--mockery made him feel as an outsider so he acted like an outsider
--envied other men like Henry Foster and Benito Hoover
--Helmholtz Watson was very similar to Bernard Marx in that they were the result of a physical defect
--shared the knowledge that they were individuals
--Helmholtz has a queer feeling he can't quite describe
--it seems they are beginning to wonder about life outside of their norm
--simile: "Words can be like X-rays, if you use them properly--they'll go through anything."
