The society of Brave New World is full of religious symbolism, emphasizing the need for a spiritual belief in a larger group. As first introduced on page 21, this society uses the terms “Ford”, and “Our Ford Above”, to pay respects to a “higher being”. This saying is further accompanied by the ritualistic action of the “T”, which is similar to the cross, lacking the top portion. Another example of how religion is interwoven through the story line is found on page 70. Bernard attends his weekly solidarity service, during which a group gets together to chant and gratify “Ford”. Specifically, they take part in some “rituals” that are very similar to what would take place in a church. For example, on page 72, the group all says “I drink to the Greater Being” and then sips the soma liquid in the “Loving cup”. At the same time a cup of som

To be more specific, Huxley uses religious allusion, to show that the innate belief in Brave New World is responsible for characters inadvertently playing biblical roles. For instance, Bernard plays a very “Judas” like role. When Bernard first meets the character John, he is supportive, and thoughtful of him. As the story progresses, Bernard begins to use John for a higher social position, and in a sense, betrays him. In the end, Bernard apologizes to John, and holds respect for him once again. This is very similar to how Judas betrayed Jesus Christ, though Judas never repented. Furthermore, Helmholtz plays a role like that of John the Beloved. Helmholtz is always supporting John the Savage in his actions, as John did for Jesus. Not only does he support John, but also he thirsts to hear of John’s stories and hardships. On page 198, Helmholtz pushes through the crowd of enraged Deltas to stand at John’s side, and fend off the furious creatures, ultimately saving John from death. John the Beloved played a similar role in the story of Jesus Christ, always standing at Christ’s side to defend him. Finally, by persecuting and sentencing John, the character Mustapha Monde played a role like that of Pontius Pilate. On pages 218 an
