Only a drink of mescal every now and then, when Pope used to bring it…But it makes you feel so bad afterwards, the mescal does, and you’re sick with the peyotl besides it always made that awful feeling of being ashamed much worst the next day” (113).
In the novel the character Linda who was left among the reservoir states, “What I had to suffer-and not a gramme of soma to be had. The fact that soma is so natural makes It worst. It is worse than real world drugs because it is sociably acceptable and legal. Soma causes the characters to want a drug to deal with miniscule problems. She needed soma because viewing the primitive Native American tribe-of the reservoir, ritual was overwhelming for her. At some point Lenina cries out, “Oh, I wish I had my soma” (110). The naturalness of soma is worse in comparison to drugs in today’s world making it really debilitating. In Brave New World soma is so natural it not able to be seen a debilitating. The narrator refers to the character Lenina leaving her soma home something she never does.
The commonality of using soma is illustrated when the author states, “She felt in her pocket for her soma –only to discover that, by some unprecedented oversight, she had left the bottle down at the rest-house” (106).
Soma is a drug used by characters when they are looking for a good time or beginning to feel unhappy or discomfort. In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley we are introduced to soma.
