Brave New World (4 and 5)
- The name Benito Hoover, every time I look at it from a historical perspective I think of President Hoover who abandoned the people during the Great Depression. (Allusion?)
- Rhetorical Question - "Dared he face that risk of being humiliated by a contemptuous refusal?"
- Vernacular - "Delta-Minus" is a common term used by people in a like class to Bernard Marx (Last name historic reference to Marxism)
- Allusion - Fleet Street is a real street in London
- Characterization - of Helmholtz Watson (Sherlock Holmes best mate)being really attractive and not unlike Bernard Marx in the smarts department, while also showing the effect of "mental excess" on the body for Marx
- Dialogue and Omnicient Point of View - allowing for indirect characterization by the author though sharing the thoughts of the each after an exchange of ideas between these two who are in mental excess
- Foreshadowing - that something big is going to happen with Helmholz who "I've got something important to say and the power to say it -- only I don't know what it is, and I can't make use of the power." Once he figures it out... stuff is gonna go down!
- Parable - when Helmholz thought "He wished Bernard would show a little more pride." I believe it is about his intellectual abilities that are more than average.
- Extended Metaphor - Sexophonists (enough said right!?!?) every action they made was recorded like that of the greatest music conservatory.
- Lyric from the Sixteen Sexophonists to the Orgy-Porgy used
- Motif - Morgana Rothschild's eyebrow
- Full description of a 'climax' and party in the Orgy, waiting for him because he's coming... we get the point where this metaphor is going
