9/7/2023 0 Comments Soma in brave new world![]() ![]() One gets the sense that New London never would have recovered anyway. The Epsilons and Jack smash up the soma distillery, but while Jack would happily just call it a day there and elope with Lenina, who he apparently wants more than he wants payback, the Epsilons aren’t satisfied. The choice is, ultimately, between happiness and freedom, and it’s an easy one to make. John isn’t exactly keen on the idea of being a revolutionary leader, but he comes around to it eventually with a rousing speech against soma, which he claims is what has stopped them from feeling and thus from blaming their predicament on New London’s Alpha class. But Bernard isn’t well-positioned to do anything about it, despite his new title, since CJack60 and all of the Epsilons have appointed John as their leader, who they expect to lead them into a utopia without caste or class or the underground living quarters where he’s currently being harbored. Naturally, Henry Foster being kicked in by the Epsilons – also a deserved, predictable fate for such a smug elitist – causes a fair amount of uproar which is immediately blamed on the Savage, and thus shouldered by Mustafa, who invited him in in the first place.
