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.
"Hug me till you drug me, honey
Kiss me till I'm in a coma:
Hug me, honey, snuggly bunny;
Love's as good as soma."
Huxley becomes informal with his particular word choice such as: "drug, hug, kiss, honey, snuggly and bunny." His use of informal language makes it easier for the reader to see that this is comedic tone that Huxley has set up by his word choice because he obviously couldn't be serious saying "Hug me, honey, snuggly bunny". His sentence structure is actually longer with the use of more commas when comparing the drug Soma to love.
