In Chapter 15 of 'Brave New World', John is overwhelmed by the identical deltas lining up for soma after his mother's death. Shakespeare's lines echo in his mind, mocking the dystopian sameness. This realization leads him to start a riot, attempting to free the deltas by throwing soma out the window. Bernard and Helmholtz arrive to help, but the police soon calm the mob with synthetic music. The chapter highlights the conflict between numbed conformity and the freedom of human experience, illustrating the dystopian nightmare of Huxley's vision.
