Brave New World is a novel by Aldous Huxley written in 1931.In Huxley’s society that he created everyone consumes daily grams of soma, to fight depression, babies are born in laboratories, and the most popular form of entertainment is a "Feelie," a movie that provokes the senses of sight, hearing, and touch. Though there is no violence and everyone is provided for, Bernard Marx feels something is missing and senses his relationship with a young woman has the potential to be much more than what there allowed to think. The future society shows how reproductive technology and anti-depressants shape a society.
"The zippers on Lenina's square pair of viscose velveteen shorts were at first a puzzle, then solved, a delight. Zip, and then zip; zip, and then zip; he was enchanted."
When Huxley writes about clothing in the World State there always happens to be zippers. Huxley's repetition of "zip" sounds like a way of saying easy access relating to sex. He also has a lot of commas in these two sentences to slow the reader down and to show the importance of that "zipping" sound. He begans by saying how the zippers had him confused calling it a "puzzle", but ends it saying he was enchanted. The comma's and longer sentence structure show how he wants to clearly explain whats going on; setting up a rhythm with the word zip constantly saying it.
