Metaphor Analysis



Caste System— people in Brave New World are genetically divided into five Greek letter categories. The best and brightest intellectuals are Alphas while the Epsilons are the manual laborers with little need for intelligence. The other castes fill jobs somewhere in between.


Alphas: Wear grey; these are the intellectuals of society. Some examples of professions can be World Controllers (Alpha double Plus), Directors of Hatcheries, and Wardens. Bernard, a psychologist, is also an Alpha.

Betas: Mulberry colored; these persons are somewhat intelligent and often work as mechanics.

Gammas: Wear green; often work as machine minders/manipulators, butlers, and other semi-thought-provoking jobs.

Deltas: Wear khaki, helicopter attendants, cold pressers, screw-cutters, package packers; are mass produced and have no individuality.

Epsilons: Wear black, can’t read or write, Sewage Workers, liftmen, foundry-workers, carriers, semi-morons.

(Each caste is split into "plus" and "minus" members.)

Alphas and Betas

Alphas and Betas are at the top of the caste system, and perform the more intellectual jobs. Unlike the lower castes, Alphas and Betas are not clones, allowing for more individual personalities. Alphas wear gray, and Betas wear mulberry.


Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons

The lower three castes do more menial and standardized work. As a result, they are usually clones. When being decanted, processes such as oxygen deprivation are used. Gammas wear green, Deltas wear khakis, and Epsilons wear black.

In Brave New World these titles only exist to indicate a person's abilities.

In socionics they don't.

I don't understand why you guys have to come in here and contaminate shit. All I'm asking for is relevant discussion, if you can't provide that, just don't even post. There are tons of other threads to wank in, seriously.

Just let the damn thread die on it's own, if it's really that stupid of a topic. I know "Socionics is srs business", "ur butthurt blah blah" but damn, I mean come on? Grow up.
