Question

John changes his diction (word choice) on page 144 of brave new world ; the shift is indicated with italics. What and who has inspired him to speak in this way?

Answer 1

Answer:

Shakespeare's works and Shakespeare himself inspire John to speak differently.

Explanation:

John is strongly influenced by Shakespeare, to the point of allowing his works to interfere with his personality, the way he acts and the way he sees the world. Everything for him is done under the way and vision that he believes Shakespeare would have, which makes him realize elements that are not correct and that are harmful, in addition to giving him a full critical view of the World State. Even the completion of John's narrative is influenced by Shakespeare.
