The notion of multiple sex partners releases any emotional bonds that may be associated with the act of sex. Furthermore, communities are achieved through an imaginary religion that worships Ford. This religion makes a mockery of Christianity by encouraging citizens to achieve harmony through group sex. In Brave New World, community is given priority above the individual, and although that may seem like a devoted gesture, the way in which Huxley illustrates it strips a person of any form of individuality. .
Identity in the Brave New World is just as non-existent as community. Conditioning works its magic in making everyone similar, which ultimately means that none of the citizens of the World State have their own distinctive characteristics. However, if by accident someone shows signs of individuality, it is looked down upon, as in the case of Bernard Marx. "And if anything should go wrong, there's soma"(220). This drug, soma, serves as the answer to all the world's problems. Numerous hynopaedic proverbs condition people to believe that if any emotions other than happiness arise; the way to solve it is to indulge them in a soma holiday. The World State strongly believes in unvarying happiness, which can be looked at as a beneficial foundation. However, the mistake that they make is to not teach the citizens of the World State the value of happiness. For, in order to find true fulfillment and meaning in one's life, one must be able to contrast the good parts of life to the bad parts. In other words, it is only when one can experience the despair life has to offer, that he can appreciate the joy of it. However, in Brave New World, almost none of the characters have any personal life occurrences of anything, other than soma and sex, which help to shape their personalities. .
Bernard Marx, however, is an exception to this rule of constant happiness. Bernard, one of the anti-heroes, is an Alpha, but due to an excessive dosage of alcohol in his blood surrogate, is as short as an Epsilon.
