`` Brave New World `` By Aldous Huxley

In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, John’s identities are influenced by two opposite societies, and even though he tries to prove his manhood and change the framework of brave new world, he can’t gain real acceptance from anywhere. John’s mother, Linda, is from the brave new world but gave birth to him in the savage reservation and her different behaviors based on the framework of the brave new world caused John’s isolation in the savage reservation. John decides to move to the brave new world and becomes popular in this society, but his identity, influenced by his “savage” culture, can’t be accepted by the community. His conflict with the brave new world finally forces him to try to change the framework of the society, but his attempt is

Cursed to a life of isolation because of his appearance, values, and outrageous thoughts, John was alienated mentally, emotionally, and physically in both the Savage Culture and the World State Culture. Torn between keeping true to his virtues and conforming to society, the treatment of John highlights the values of both cultures in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.

From reading the novel called "Brave New World" by Huxley, John the savage is a character that has been mostly isolated in throughout the chapters. What this mean is that he has been separated from people, a place, including himself. But why does he do that for? He isolated himself from the people of a village in the reservation when they all have knowledge of rituals, morals, and values to learn from, he does not want to live and be a part in the world state where he can have anything he wants and lastly he decided isolated from himself. Just ask yourself on why would John isolate from all these things that will benefit him of more knowledge, get the things that he wants, and be himself?

In Brave New World there is the World State and Savage Reservation. These two settings are two widely different places with different thoughts and different cultures. In the World State you are to live by Community, Stability, and Identity while in the Savage Reservation there are human ways that are quite similar to the world today. While Bernard suffers from the isolation of the alpha caste system, John has learned to use it in his favor. John learned to embrace his individuality

When a character enters a new environment with varying environmental and sociological influences, he or she experiences initiation. Although the initiation often brings a character into adulthood, John transitions from his savage lifestyle on the reservation to one laden with conditioning and governmental control. As John enters into the new society, citizens overwhelm him with observation, constantly shadowing him in an attempt to understand his identity and his origins. John evolves into a “zoo animal” character, serving as an educational figure for those around him while experiencing metamorphosis from life on the reservation to a new society in dystopian London. However, society’s treatment of John leads into his ultimate demise and self destruction as a character: “Drawn by the fascination of the horror of pain...which their conditioning had so ineradicably implanted in them, they began to mime the frenzy of his gestures, striking at one another as the

In Brave New World, John the Savage was exiled indirectly and directly from his native place. Although John the Savage was exiled, he found the positive in everything from the moment that he was young until the moment he realized that all he heard was wrong about the New World. The aspect of the New World was told to him through stories as a child and towards the end John then finds that it’s not all it is thought of to have been.

John the savage, the protagonist from Bernard is introduced near the mid point of the novel. He is categorized between two specific archetypes, which are the seeker and the outsider. Being "born" into this society he is never given a chance to escape from reservation. When talking about the seeker, throughout the entire novel John is trying to find a place where he fits in, and belongs. Bernard was his chance in doing so. With Johns state of mind he realizes that he will never fit in to the so called civilized world of state. After being

John is one of the few characters who was a victim to being exiled, and just like it sounds, it was not a grand experience for this literate fellow. John, when we first meet him, tells Bernard, “But they wouldn’t let me. They disliked me for my complexion. It’s always been like that.” (page 111) John tells of how he

His confusion first begins before he ever leaves the Reservation. “Joy flared up like a fire within him” (p.142) When John meets

In conclusion John was just an outsider, left alone, no one included him in things because he was different but at the same time he was just like everyone else. John was born like everyone else at the reservation but they still didn’t accept him because of his family. All John had was his mother Linda. John was like everyone else externally but internally he was diverse and that's what made John

Brave New World is a book that revolves around the cultural elements of “Community, Identity, Stability” (1). That motto is something that holds true for the many average lives that partake in the New World community and can even apply to the Reservations that are explained throughout the book. However, there is an exception to this motto and that exception is John the Savage. John is truly an outsider in both cultures, for many different, yet similar, ways. He is caught between two extremely different worlds, worlds of which he isn’t accepted as normal. He tends to stick with the identity that he created on the Reservation, which revolves around Shakespeare and the acts of the other Savages, and, when entering the New World, he is truly faced with a cultural collision, which ultimately leads to his demise. John’s responses to this battle between cultural beliefs proves how inhumane the New World truly is, mainly because of conditioning.

John has always considered himself to be an outcast of society since the beginning when he was born, as most of the Savages within the Savage Reservation immediately excluded him and his mother, Linda due their light skin, light hair, and their other-worldly habits. On one occasion, John is supposed to go through an initiation ceremony with the other boys of the village when he was pulled out of the line, struck, and told “Not for the son of the she-dog,”. This is when John begins to feel the pain of being alone because he has been “driven out” (Huxley 136). When Bernard and Lenina visit the Reservation, John finds a companion in Bernard as Bernard sees himself as an outcast to society as well and John agrees to return to the World State with them. John finds himself in a confusing position as he is welcomed as new member because he is the only naturally birthed person that the people have ever seen and is even given the nickname of “The Savage” (158). But John struggles with his inner beliefs about sex. John is disgusted by the society’s impertinence with the details of sex and sexual relationships. After seeing a feely with Lenina, John tells her “I don’t think you ought to see things like that,” (169) and hastily drops her off at home and leaves. John also struggles with the easy-going, stress free aspect of the World State in which citizens are given soma to deal with their problems. After the drug leads to his mother’s death, John feels remorse and tries to convince the residents to throw their soma away but soon becomes angry at their ignorance and has an “intense overpowering hatred of these less than human monsters,” (212). Outraged at the unawareness of problems in the society after a discourse between himself and Mustapha Mond, John leaves London to find his own unhappiness within the forest. Admirers invade his privacy including Lenina who tries to visit him, but is attacked by a power-hungry John

CeeLo Green once said “I want a world where everything is welcome, everything is valid, everything is acknowledged, embraced, and accepted. To me, that's a perfect world”. In the “Brave New World”, the society is split into five castes, the Alphas, Betas, Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons. The D.H.C. explains the biochemical technology that makes identical human beings with the Bokanovsky's Process, which produces dozens of identical eggs, which strips human beings of their unique and different personalities that makes them diverse. The people in this strange society have strange beliefs, they stand by “Community, Identity, and Stability”.

In Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, all of society’s ideals and norms are challenged. The New World State controls all human emotions and feelings, in order to make a more stable society. Exile is a common punishment among the World State, and although several characters are exiled throughout the story, the character who experiences the largest rift is John. John is the son of the Director and Linda, a woman who was rescued by villagers of the Savage Reservation. When Bernard and Helmholtz visit this reservation, they notice how different and traditional the way of life is there compared to the customs and beliefs of the World State.

Would you want to be exiled? Probably not. However, several theorists have many different views on the impact of being exiled. American theorist Edward Said claimed, “It is the unhealable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted.” But on another note, he said it is “a potent, even enriching.” Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, expands on this idea of exilation. Throughout the novel, several characters are faced with being exiled, whether it be from their home or community. In particular, a character named John seems to experience the bulk of it. John’s experiences show that being exiled is alienating and, at the same time, enriching, while also portraying the effects of a world with complete government control over technology and life itself.
