Symbol
A huge use of symbolism by Aldous Huxley was the use of soma (an alcoholic beverage). Soma, as other alcoholic drinks do, alter ones way of thinking and perception of the life around them. Bernard drank soma only before having sex with Lenina, something he did not at all want to do but what was acceptable by society's standards. Soma, like the government, has been forcing people to make irrational decisions so far in the book.
