“Yes, but let me get on with my distribution, won’t you? There’s a good fellow.” (Huxley 211). John finally snaps. He tries to visit his mother in the hospital but is bombarded by twins and loses his control. He gets really depresses afterwards and when he leaves and runs into a crowed of deltas. He sees their sameness and finds it revolting. They are lined up to receive their daily ration of soma. The distributor treats them like children to get them to behave. John seems to get and idea that he should try to save these people. They really don’t understand what he tries to tell them and ends up just making them all mad. Their decision making skills are at the level of children so they just find it unfair when he steals their soma. It is interesting that how they quell the riot is to make everyone happy and basically just lull them into sleep.
