BNW3 - Diction - Funny Words yet Miserable Reading

"Hoity-toity." (Brave New World, pg. 54) "...soma..." (BNW, pg.55) "...morocco-surrogate." (BNW pg. 52) "...promiscuous..." (BNW, pg. 43) This chapter had its fair share of entertaining diction. Not to mention a confusing attack of three conversations alternating lines. Somehow, I survived the misery. But beyond the entertaining words and sufferable style of writing, the diction helped set the setting for the story. Mr. Huxley does a good job of using scientific words and expressions to help put the reader into the scientifically "advanced" society - though the idea of them being a better society is debatable. Without words relating to science and drugs of the future, the book would lack authenticity and would keep the reader from getting into the story. I do have one question - When Bernard Marx declares: "Damn you, damn you!" - where is he damning the Mr. Foster to? They don't believe in Hell - so maybe its to a life of instability? Or perhaps Marx is a single believer out of a world of millions.
