Huxley uses nonlinear storytelling, shifting between different time periods in the life of the protagonist, Anthony Beavis. This allows the author to explore themes of memory, time, and human experience more deeply. Huxley's language is rich and layered, incorporating philosophical reflections and psychological analysis. Literary techniques include interior monologue and stream of consciousness, allowing the reader to delve deeper into the characters' thoughts and feelings. Huxley also employs symbolism and allusions to emphasize themes of spiritual quest and moral responsibility. The novel's fragmented structure creates a mosaic perception, reflecting the complexity of human life and consciousness.
