Summary "Antic Hay" by Aldous Huxley is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the main character, Theodore Gumbril Junior, a disenchanted schoolmaster whose existential musings and dissent against societal norms lead him to seek a new path in life. His reflections on the nature of existence, education, and personal ambition provide a satirical yet poignant critique of contemporary society. The opening of "Antic Hay" introduces us to Theodore Gumbril, who sits in a chapel, ruminating on the existence of God while attending to the sermon of Reverend Pelvey. Despite the solemnity surrounding him, Gumbril's thoughts drift to his own upbringing and the reality of his current life as a schoolmaster, which he finds unbearably tedious. The narrative captures his internal conflict as he grapples with profound philosophical questions amid the absurdities of his situation. Following the chapel scene, we glimpse his ambitions of creating "Gumbril's Patent Small-Clothes," an inflatable trouser design intended to provide comfort for sedentary individuals, revealing his desire to escape the mundanity of both his job and life in general.
