According to "five stars for literary critics" whose work does the novel brave new world reference?

I'm not going to make it tonight and

Furious , assuming the bolded word is wrathful

A. they give the reader hope. if the whole book was dark & unhopeful it’d be a little less interesting, little moments make it more interesting to read because then you want to know what happens. if it’s all dark there’s no point in reading if you already know the outcome of it.

I'm guessing a 'fragment'. read over the sentence and question again before you move on.
