Support for the theory that Phoenix is losing it “ when she sat down to rest … she dared not close her eyes and when the little boy brought her a plate with a slice of marble-cake on it she spoke and said ‘that would be acceptable’.

.... Ophelia as bait so he and the king could listen to Hamlet’s words. Ophelia willingly obliged to her father’s desires. By not thinking for herself and only doing as her father wished, she ruined her chances of love with Hamlet.

.... be rendered useless and discarded. Unlike Bradbury, Huxley includes in his book a group of people unaffected by the changes in society, a group that still has religious beliefs and marriage, things no longer part of the changed society, to compare and contrast today's culture with his proposed futuristic culture.
