        The passage describing the twins is one of vivid description. The description begins with a loud, unpleasant sound of their shrill voices. The passage continues with the stream of twin reproduction. "Twin after twin, twin after twin, they came---a nightmare. Their faces, their repeated face---for there was only one between the lot of them---puggishly stared, all nostrils and pale goggling eyes" (Huxley 201). One gets the sense of constant repetition, as thought the twins continually enter, all looking the same. While dressed in khaki, the collaboration of their squealing and chattering gives the reader a sense that the twins have rather similar charactersitics to an animal. Acting much differently than normal eight year olds, the twins climb and clammered through the hospital beds, disrupting the patients. All of these detailed descriptions of the twins makes them seem annoying and monstrous.
