Hypnopaedia, or sleep-learning, is used in Chapter 2 to condition Betas. It involves playing repetitive messages to children while they sleep to teach morals. Bokanovsky's Process allows the creation of up to 96 identical clones from a single embryo, promoting social stability by minimizing differences. The book describes the process of conditioning infants to like or dislike certain things. Individuality is reduced by the mass production of humans in specific castes.

2. What is hypnopaedia and how do they use it in
chapter two?
 Hypnopaedia is known as the process of "sleep learning"
 DHC talks about its history during the time of Ford
 Way of teaching MORALS and not FACTS
 Used in Chapter 2 during the conditioning of Betas
 "Alpha children wear grey. They work much harder than we do, because
they're so frightfully clever..." pg 27

3. What does the DHC mean when he says that
Bokanovsky‟s Process is one of the major
instruments of Social stability?
 Ties to theme of Community, Identity, Stability vs. Individual Freedom
 In order for stability to exist, conflict must be depleted
 Bokanovsky's Process is the ability to create multiple children (8-96) out of
one female embryo
 Major instrument because it is a way of making everyone the same in one
social group, and if all are the same within that group, there is no problem
with stability
 Classes are separated, and all are equal per class

4. Describe the Bokanovsky‟s Process.
 Bokanovsky's Process is the ability to create multiple children (8-96) out of
one female embryo
 Done unto Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons
 Series of steps of development
 Due to this process, eggs begin to bud, and multiply from a spectrum of 8 to
96 buds
 These buds then grow into female embryos
 These embryos will then produce full human beings, giving up to 96 more
humans than a normal embryo would be able to develop

5. Why can‟t anyone Bokanovskify indefinitely?
 Indefinite Bokanovskify is impossible because male gametes can only ever
handle 96 reproductions and 72 on average per ova

6. What is the purpose of freemartins?
 70% of embryos given male sex hormone ~ non functioning ovaries
 Process is flawless expect for the fact that some female may grow beards
 Purpose is to eliminate chances of fertility
 Mr. Foster says, “in the vast majority of cases, fertility is merely a nuisance”
(page 13)

7. What did they do to the eight month Deltas in the
infant nursery?
 Process called conditioning
 Unloaded into area with flowers and books
 Explosion lead the children into terror
 Books offered once again and infants backed away

8. Why were the Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons once
conditioned to like flowers? What made them
change their minds and condition them to hate

nature? to travel to the country resulting in consumption of transportation
Compelled
 But only consumed transportation since nature was free
 Conditioned to love country sports which required equipment

9. Why do the people of the new world fear the
concept of parents?
 The people regard viviparous birth as inhumane, even taboo.
 The concept of fathers and mothers are seen as almost vulgar words.
 Probably the cause of the government who may have conditioned the
people to think that certain way in order for the citizens not to try to
reproduce, allowing the government to control the population (stability)

10. Why do they have the Beta children conditioned not
to associate with other classes?
 Beta children are prevented from mingling with other social classes; it
distinguishes them from other castes.
 Helps the government bring about order, and creates morals for them.

11. How does the mass production of humans affect
individuality?
 Much of the population consist of sets of identical twins (8 to 96 people)
which eliminates with differences between people‟s likings, natural
dispositions, and genetic characteristics that define individuality
 People do not choose positions based on their talents and preferences, they
are given them.
 Citizens do not develop their intelligence, they are designated with a specific
intellectual level.

13.  The class will be divided into three
groups.
 For each of the ten rounds, the groups
will choose a single representative.
 A definition will be provided. The
representatives must pick the correct
corresponding word to win the round.
[prizes will be given to the winners]

 “Bokanovsky‟s Process is one of the major instruments of social stability!”
(page 7)
 Believes that social stability comes from Bokanovsky‟s Process since the
clones are predestined to do similar tasks at similar machines
 This leads to their motto “Community, Identity, Stability”
 “That is the secret of happiness and virtue─ liking what you‟ve got to do. All
conditioning aims at that: making people like their inescapable social destiny.”
(page 16)
 Belief that happiness is found in social stability. Conditioning again predestines
people to be instinctive in a specific situation (ex. the heat)

25.  “Ass! Hasn‟t it occurred to you that an Epsilon embryo must have an Epsilon
environment as well as an Epsilon heredity?” (page 14)
 When answering questions always replied with a rude manner often implying
that the student is dumb or unintelligent
 “Charming, charming” murmured the director and giving her two or three little
pats, received in exchange a rather deferential smile for himself.

after the others.

Mr. Foster smiled modestly, “With pleasure.” (page 9)
 “Sixteen thousand and twelve; in one hundred and eighty-nine batches of
identical. But of course they‟ve done much better in some of the tropical
Centres. Singapore has often produced over sixteen thousand five hundred;
and Mombasa has actually touched the seventeen thousand mark.” (page 8-9)

27.  Very precise and clear with all figures, pleasure in quoting figures
 “Mr. Foster was only too happy to give them a few figures. Two hundred and
twenty metres long, two hundred wide, ten high.” (page 11)
 “Eighty-eight cubic metres of card-index” said Mr. Foster with relish, as they
entered. (with relish ~ great enjoyment, take pleasure) (page 16)
 Very knowledgeable and educated in topics such as freemartins “so we allow
as many as thirty per cent of the female embryos to develop normally. The
others get a dose of male sex-hormone every twenty-four metres for the rest of
the course.”

 "From eight to ninety-six buds, and every bud will grow into a perfectly formed
embryo, and every embryo into a full-sized adult“ (page 6)
 "Bokanovsky's Process is one of the major instruments of social stability.“
(page 7)
: division of society

31.  "Ninety-six identical twins working ninety-six identical machines!" The voice
was almost tremulous with enthusiasm. "You really know where you are. For
the first time in history." He quoted the planetary motto. "Community, Identity,
Stability." Grand words. "If we could bokanovskify indefinitely the whole
problem would be solved.“ (page 7)
 "And in exceptional cases we can make one ovary yield us over fifteen
thousand adult individuals.“ (page 8)

32.  "In brief," the Director summed up, "the parents were the father and the
mother." The smut that was really science fell with a crash into the boys' eye-
avoiding silence. "Mother," he repeated loudly rubbing in the science; and,
leaning back in his chair, "These," he said gravely, "are unpleasant facts; I
know it. But then most historical facts are unpleasant.“ (page 24)

33.  "Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse.

again, and the Head Nurse pressed a second lever. (page 21)
 “The nurses obeyed; but at the approach of the roses, at the mere sight of
those gaily-coloured images of pussy and cock-a-doodle-doo and baa-baa
black sheep, the infants shrank away in horror, the volume of their howling
suddenly increased.” (page 21)

34. CENTRAL LONDON HATCHERY AND CONDITIONING CENTRE
 Enormous laboratories
 “Cold for all the summer beyond the panes, for all the tropical heat of the room

and nickel and bleakly shinning porcelain of a laboratory” (page 3)
 Unpleasant, „cold‟ atmosphere

comparison of liquid wax that the reader can easily understand
