John goes on a date with Lenina to the feelies, where they see Three Weeks in a Helicopter. Lenina is turned on by this, but John feels embarrassed and ashamed. John’s rejection of the shallow happiness of the World State, his inability to reconcile his love and lust for Lenina, and even his eventual suicide all reflect themes from Shakespeare. He is himself a Shakespearean character in a world where any poetry that does not sell a product is

Those who conform to the “Brave New World” lose their individuality and self-identity despite the World State’s motto being ‘Community, Identity, Stability’. In order for the ‘Brave New World to function all castes must work together through the artificial ideas of ‘identity’ and individuality to achieve happiness because the only way to achieve stability is to remove all negative feeling about the way the ‘Brave New World’ works. The people who choose not to conform begin a process of discovery. This discovery of something new and different to the ‘normal’ practices of society isn’t about the individual helping themselves but always about benefiting society and the greater good of humanity. All conformists used a drug called soma as a way of escaping reality and their consciousness. John didn’t see the need to use drugs because he believed that they shouldn’t have been used in a society that has a primal goal of a simple ad passive lifestyle. Not conforming to the use of drugs maintained his consciousness and his ability to be the one who was aware of the limitations and control society has put onto

In the novel, Brave New World, written by Aldous Huxley, the author uses character development to contrast the two different societies present in the novel.He shows the importance of morality, or an increase in wisdom in the character of humankind.

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.

There was when john lied to the stranger and also his boss about what the stranger wanted so that it wouldn’t make Mr. Berry upset. Also, when John agrees with Mr. Barry about his son broke his plants knowing that it wasn’t actually his son and that some white bully threw it up there, but instead went along with it to avoid conflict.

When John was led back into life in the futuristic society, he was mocked and treat as a strange attraction. He was at the awful end of a sick joke - people came from all over to understand this simple “savage” who has spent his life in curiously primitive manners.

Both display the ignorance of the people in each society, in that they are not able realize the problems in their culture and community. Society in Brave New World seems perfect to everyone but John the Savage. Readers cannot help but agree with John the Savage because of dramatic irony. The reader knows things that the characters in the story do not. Social classes are implemented, with embryos and young children undergoing “conditioning” to fit their selected type. An employee of the factory, Henry Foster claims that the classes are “a benefaction to Society” (14), and the rest agree. No one is to go out of their class and attempt to do anything else; no one is to associate themselves with those of a different group. Similarly, in WALL-E, those who once inhabited Earth now occupy outer-space on a starliner called the Axiom. This is due to the lack of recycling and mass destruction to Earth by humans. A sense of guilt is not present among the people, and they love living on the Axiom. They all become extremely obese and rely on technology to do everything for them. Like Brave New World, humans are engulfed by pleasure and are not concerned with much else. The people of WALL-E gorge on food as if they are machines programmed to do so. Both John the Savage and Wall-E are exceedingly disturbed by the behaviors that are considered the norm in their respective

This woman, Linda, lets her fear of how the others will judge her dictate her decision to stay in the New Mexico Savage Reservation. Linda’s outcasting was social as well as physical, this situation empowers Linda, but also leads to her demise.

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.

In the book Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, the character John the Savage is brought from his homeland of Malpais to London. When he arrives he finds that this world is very different from his own. Saddened and angered by the injustice of the society, he attempts to isolate himself from the world. John the Savage’s experience of being exiled from Malpais was enriching in that it showed him the true nature of the Other Place and alienating in that he was separated from his culture and not able to integrate into the new one. This illuminates the meaning of the work in that it shows the negative side of the “utopian” society.

I agree that those characteristics make John Grady a unique and complex character in the novel. In addition to having perseverance and morals, John Grady also has his flaws: he’s naive and impractical. Based on the events in Part II, John Grady seems like someone who is determined to achieve what he desires, yet at times, oblivious of reality. For example, after John Grady spends time with Alejandra, he sees “... in that wild summer landscape: real horse, real rider, real land, and sky and yet a dream withal” (McCarthy 132). Here, John Grady reflects on his journey thus far and feels as if he has finally gotten almost everything he’s dreamed of: a ranch filled with horses, a job he’s skilled at, and even a relationship with a seemingly perfect
