Numerous times throughout the novel, Huxley talks about the women's Malthusian belts or the Malthusian drill (bottom of page 77 is one example). Thomas Robert Malthus was a British economist and clergyman who theorized that a human population will always increase faster than the things it needs to survive (like food, water, land, etc.). Malthus believed that people needed to decrease the human population through moral restraint (lack of sex or the use of birth control, for example), disease, family, war, or disaster OR there would be so many people that poverty and degradation would result. Given this brief history lesson, I can clearly see why Huxley named his society's birth control method after this man. Using the same principle, find another name in this novel and give a brief historical background of the person, tying him/her to the themes of the novel.
