1.1) D.H.C., the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning.
2)It creates and conditions new human life.
3) “...COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY.”“Community”means that all persons must work together to maximize the greatest happiness for society as a whole, and it occurs through the artificially implanted ideas of “Identity”that each person has.Some are Alphas, Betas, Gammas, etc., but each person is supposed to be happy with their own identity.Finally, “Stability”is the ultimate goal of society because only through stability can happiness be maintained and all unpleasant feelings and emotions be eradicated.
4)In the future (A.F.63 2).All dates are preceded by “a.f.”“After Ford”, just as today’s calendar system begins with the birth of Jesus, a.d.( Anno Domini, meaning “in the year of the lord”).
Yes.A world of anonymous and dehumanized people dominated by a government made overwhelmingly powerful by the use of technology.
5)No.D.H.C.lectures his students on the evil of generalities, saying “Not philosophers but fret-sawyers and stamp collectors compose the backbone of society.”Obviously public sentiment has changed from today’s common beliefs that philosophy is a very important undertaking.
6)It’s a great honor and golden opportunity to learn directly from D.H.C., who is a very influential man in the World State.
7)Bokanovsky Process refers to the process by which many multiples of babies are genetically generated from one original cell.The Alphas and Betas, the higher castes, are kept from this process, whereas the lower castes of Gammas, Deltas and Epsilons are further multiplied, thereby diluting their intelligence.
8)People are produced artificially instead of naturally.In a brilliant adaptation of Ford’s assembly line, the Central London Hatchery turns out (nearly) interchangeable human beings without individuality.The main element of what makes a person human and unique are the emotions that inhabit their minds, which they can control to some degree.Emotions are the fuel that drives man to act on a belief or a dream, to become a better person, to grow and learn and to love.But the government in Brave New World discourages these intense human characteristics for the sake of community and stability.
9)The technology of fertilization, cloning technology/ reproductive technology and genetic engineering.
10)England in the 1930s was a changing and tumultuous place.The two major catastrophes, World War I and the Great Depression, caused many to begin to question the way they had been living.When Huxley wrote his novel, it was a common concern that advances in fields such as genetics and the biological sciences stood to corrupt human nature and lead to things like the genetic manipulation and biological social stratification we see in Brave New World.At that time, people first began to witness the simultaneously magical and terrifying powers technology could invest them with.Riding high on its achievements, humankind also felt it was teetering on the brink of self-destruction.Like many others of its time, Huxley’s novel seeks to address these anxieties about the course humankind was steering.That Brave New World is set in the future is crucial to this purpose.The exaggerated potentials of its world serve as a prophecy of what might come if things are left untended, while providing people with a way to debate the moral and ethical underpinnings of their society.

2.Features of Charles Dickens’s Novels
1)Dickens’s novels offer a most complete and realistic picture of the English bourgeois society of his age.They reflect the protest of the people against capitalist exploitation, and criticize the vices of capitalist society.
2)Dickens is a petty bourgeois intellectual.He could not overstep the limits of his class.He believed in the moral self-perfection of the wicked propertied classes.He failed to see the necessity of a bitter struggle of the oppressed against their oppressors.There is a definite tendency for a reconciliation of the contradictions of society.That is why most of his novels have happy endings.
3)His novels tell much of the unhappy experiences of his own childhood.
4)Dickens is a great humorist and satirist.His novels are full of humor and satire.

1.1)Shelley has used a “dreary night”instead of the typical thunderstorm to make an eerie atmosphere.
2)She uses very descriptive words that make the surroundings more eerie, e.g.glimmer of the half-extinguished light, rain pattering dismally, etc.
3)As amazed he is by his creation, Victor sees it as a monster.He’s disappointed and possibly even scared about how his creation will turn out.This is evident when he describes his monster as a “catastrophe”.
4)Fear is provoked well when Shelley describes the monster in detail by explaining how “His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness”.By describing such horrific features it creates the image of a deformed monster with ghastly features just thrown together.
5)By describing the monsters ghastly features but then mentioning how straight and sleek his hair is, it creates juxtaposition.With such an evil face but such perfect teeth and hair, it becomes quite scary.
6)Victor feels regretful because his monster turned out such a disaster instead of the beautiful being he set out to create.
7)Victor dreamt of his fiancé Elizabeth.As he finally embraces her, her features become lifeless and she appears to be dead.She suddenly turns into Victors mother, then worms appear.
8)Shelley quoted Coleridge’s “Ancient Mariner”to create frightful atmosphere.
9)Henry Clerval.He nurses Victor.
10)Elizabeth.She is Victor’s adopted cousin and wife.
