"'I think,' said Lenina suddenly, breaking a long silence, 'I'd better take a couple of grammes of soma'" (178). I see a lot of Lenina in Linda, John's mother. I feel as if there were to be a sequel to this book, Lenina would be exactly like Linda. Linda, who lived for years on the reservation, goes back to civilization, and she becomes a totally different person. Linda eventually dies due to the amount of soma that she takes. I feel as if Lenina will do the same very soon. It's their therapy, their method of coping with the faults of their world. Almost comparable to alcohol, some people drink to get away from their problems. Others feel as if their life would be boring if they were sober.
