Brave New World Coursework

him out of everything they did together, even the rituals they used to perform such as the one about learning about manhood.  To make him self less bored John came up with was to amuse him self because the others wouldn’t let him join in.  He thought if he fasted for 5 days, he would help cure hunger and famine!  We all know this isn’t true but it made him feel better doing something. When people suffered he believed that they should be given respect and help wherever possible.  He used to be happy when he thought about Jesus/god and all the good they did for the world.  In the Brave New World John becomes disgusted of the morals, which seem to not be present. Poetry, art, religion, history, and other forms are all an extremely important part of life. He can’t adjust to the Brave New World and the fact that all these essential parts of his life are unacceptable here. On page 216 Mustapha Mond explains that none of these are needed in the ten states of the Brave New World, this is because there is no need for a god as there is no self-denial, because they are self-sufficient. There is no need for heroism or nobility because the race is self-sufficient. At the end of the book John reflects on the happenings that have affected him in the book. He falls out with himself due to the fact that he has not mourned the death of his mother. He beats himself uncontrollably. He then thinks lustful thoughts about Lenina and regrets that he and her broke up, he continues to beat himself. He was not conditioned to think thoughts like this, however Lenina was, and felt wrong. Lenina enters and tries to stop John from hurting himself. He then beats and whips Lenina, he kills her. This ending shows the volatile mind of the Savage, because it shows how he can’t take the pressure of not being the same as the other people. John Savage contrasts the Savage Reservation and the Brave New World.
