Number Five- More Differences

"Orgy-porgy, Ford and fun, kiss the girls and make them One. Boys at one with girls at peace;
Orgy-porgy gives release."                                    -pg.84


Once again, the taboos around sexuality in our culture no longer exist in this culture. In a soma-filled reality for these people, they experiment and push the limits of their society. For them this is normal and what we do in our culture is the strange and out of place ideas. My reaction to this is that people need to release their feelings and emotions in this world too, not just work for the government or their jobs and that right there is the feeling of being human. Bernard Marx has human feelings and thoughts and maybe he isn't the only one after all. It also seems that these people spend more time intoxicated on soma, the wonder drug of their time, than they do actually in reality. This helps add to the illusion of the perfect society, and helps the reader to realize it is just that, an illusion of a "perfect" society.
