Final Chpter Of Brave New World !!

Benard finally becomes an outcast, when his two friends (John and Himholtz) leave him for a "paradise" island. They soon come back from there trip and John seems fustrated in the novel. I see this when he is moved by Lenina, but also don't like the sexual things that she does towards him, which makes him feel more shame. He also is heartbroken when his mother overdose in soma and dies in a hospital. Do to his fustration he takes it out the workers, by going to the factory and  throwing out the soma, causing a riot. As I was reading this, it hit me that the author put this factory scene in the novel to foreshadow, that John desperate ways and him wanting to save the people is going to lead to his down fall. So, John now the main character for sure, finds himself isolated from society in a lighthouse outside of London. He soon finds himself interrupted from mourning and grieving over his mother's death by the bad memories of the dystopian society. Which leads to him whipping himself and the thing that makes it worst is that he taped himself getting whipped !! So the tape is leaked and everybody in the society has seen it, even Lenina. The strange thing that caught me was when she started to cry. The wierd thing about this is that the society that there in doesn't feel emotions. Also this shows that the people in the society is capable of changing but chooses to not change for some reason. So, Lenina is moved by John's actions, but some how John turns and start to whip her. The funny thing aboout it is that this drives the crowd in a sexual way. Which cause them to have an orgy and take more of the soma. And John joins in !! The next morning John notice what he has done, which totally contradicts his whole belief of not having sex with just anybody and hangs himself.

  1. Good start, but your grammar is wrong and I personally think you misinterpreted the story slightly.
