Theme Of Archetypes In Brave New World

John, also known as John the Savage, is the son of Linda and his father, who are both members of Utopia. He was born and raised on the Savage Reservation. John is an outsider both on the Reservation - where the natives still practise marriage, natural birth, family life and religion - and the apparently civilised Brave New World: a totalitarian welfare-state based on principles of stability and happiness, even if it`s a happiness of a superficial and bland nature.

Bernard is introduced as a man that does not fit into society and is different from everyone else in the “Social Society”. Throughout the novel he changes though, he becomes self-centered and views himself as a superior to others. The main event that lead up to this change is his encounter with the “Savages”, which allowed him to secure his job and further his career.

     It is evident that Bernard and Lenina shift their attitudes after they meet the savage, John. Bernard gets a taste of power after bringing the savage home to London and becomes satisfied and happy as defined by Brave New World, a complete turnaround from his previous, almost American ideals. Lenina finds love and joy, as an American would define it after being content for so many years in the society of Brave New World. Before he finds the savage, Bernard is unhappy with his surroundings,

Bruce Springsteen’s song “The Rising” is a requiem to those who lost their lives on 9/11 trying to save others. He uses images, archetypes, and phrases with literal and figurative meanings to honor the personal virtues of first responders, console the mourners, and provide inspiration and hope to the country. Springsteen includes archetypes to alter the tone throughout the song. The firefighter made his “way through the darkness”, where he “[Couldn’t] see nothin’ in front of [him]” and “[Couldn’t] see nothin’ coming up behind”.

Bernard writes about how John is so different from everyone else in a letter. He mentions that the John “‘refuses to take soma, and seems much distressed because the woman Linda, his [mother], remains permanently on holiday… the Savage frequently goes to see her and appears to be much attracted to her-an interesting example of the way in which early conditioning can be made to modify and even run counter to natural impulses”(Huxley 160-161). John, referred to as the Savage, contrasts from everyone in the new world. Bernard mentions that all of John’s problems could be fixed if he is conditioned to repulse his natural instinct. John and Piggy are outcasts in contrastive ways. On the other hand, Piggy is an outsider for different reasons. The other boys believe that “Piggy [is] an outsider, not only by accent, which did not matter, but by fat, and ass-mar, and specs, and a certain disinclination for manual labor”(Golding 65). Piggy is seen as different from the other boys on the island. He is often ridiculed for these differences. This makes him an outcast because the boys develop a

Two characters similar in temperament are Laila and Elizabeth Bennet. Laila and Elizabeth are both headstrong, intelligent and outspoken. Rather than being in similar situations, Laila and Elizabeth both react to situations similarly. They are both driven by their emotion and instinct and react to things primarily by listening to their heart. 

Archetypes seen in both A Thousand Splendid Suns and Pride and Prejudice are the common villain, Rasheed and Lady Catherine, who both work to prevent the protagonists from reconciling with their true beloved. Marriage, is another archetype that is commonplace throughout both novels not only as a representation of love but a symbolic representation of being bound together forever. In both novels, parental figures view marriage as a representation of personal gain, and status. Jalil and his wives hope to marry Mariam off because they don’t want a harami living with them harm their social status. Mrs. Bennet hopes to marry her daughters off for wealth and hopefully an elevated social status. 

These archetypes focus on the novel’s overall meanings by showcasing how

When Bernard is exiled to Iceland he is unhappy and decides to go the reservation even when told he shouldn’t. When in London his popularity increases and takes advantage of his new status. He used his new status to get to women, but those women were promised that they would get to meet John through knowing Bernard. Also with being exiled Bernard becomes more independent and individualized. “And then he spends most of his time by himself—alone." There was horror in Fanny's voice.”(pg 35) This is the beginning of where Bernard’s defining feature is a downfall and a virtue. It defines his virtue because it makes an individual to be alone. It’s also a downfall because it makes him insecure and manipulative to John.

John the Savage was the only person who did not objectify women. He, essentially, was the Christ figure in the story, as he was the only one who believed in God and his morals were better than the people he associated with in London. John was brave, he fought for what he thought was right, and he called out any injustice whenever he saw them. At the end, like Jesus in the desert, he became isolated from society. John was even tempted by his own personal devils of lust, ignored everything that linked to civilization, and whipped himself for forgiveness. On the hill where he was alone, “... he stretched out his arms as though he were on the Cross…” (Huxley 244). John wanted to feel like Jesus Christ on the road of self-discipline, since Jesus was one of his childhood heroes. He had his faults though seeing that, as stated before, he could not control his anger. He stabbed Popé; he attacked Lenina not once but twice because she tried seducing him but it obviously did not work. Despite all this, his weaknesses showed how he was human. John was the character that brought light into the book filled with darkness from the oppression of society.

During the first few chapters, Bernard seems to be at odds with society, due to its treatment of women, sex, and its own people. The pinnacle of Bernard’s rebellion is in the second section of the sixth chapter, where the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning threatens to send Bernard to Iceland, as a punishment of his subversive behaviors. Instead of teaching him a lesson like the Director intended, Bernard is thrilled to have finally stood up to ‘the man’.

The characters in the novel are divided into two groups; the group of John, the savage and Bernard Marx who are against the new world and the other characters who are the majorities and they follow the rules of the new world. John is a hybrid of the Indian world and the Utopian one. He is the protagonist of the novel as he suffers during his lifetime. At first he struggles to adapt to the Indian society then he struggles to keep up with the modern world. John is not satisfied with the utopian citizens and is surprised of their satisfaction. He sees them as slaves and asks if they "want to be free and men?" (Huxley 213). The problem of John, the savage is that he comes from a reservation which indicates the past. People here look at

John is the only character who has a real birth mother and thus represents something unique although frowned upon in society and therefore being different he is unable to fit into the savage society. This becomes evident when he is denied the rites of passage and is unable to give his life through ceremonies to the society. On page 136 John is ripped out of the ranks of the other boys and is
