The Castes in Brave New World are the major opposites in the novel. The Alphas are opposite to the Epsilons. Wile the Alphas were given the best conditions while they were being created, the Epsilons were given the worst conditions. The Epsilons were treated with alcohol and other factors that made them smaller and less intelligent than the Alphas. However, I think that it would make more sense if the Epsilons we bigger than the Alphas because they have to do the labor for the society.
The Betas and the Deltas are the same way. The Betas are not as smart as Alphas, but they are still one of the higher castes. Similarly, while the Deltas are more intelligent than the Epsilons, they are still one of the lower castes in the society. The Deltas, however, are in between the Betas and Deltas, so they might not be as smart as the Betas, but they're more intelligent than the Deltas.
