People in here lives like before The World State. They marry, they couple, and they even breed. John has always been curious about the outer world, Brave New World. He is grown up in Reservation. When he meets with Bernard Marx, he tells his story to him. Marx calls Mustapha Bond, one of the rulers of The World State, and take permission for John to come with them to the other world. Nevertheless, John would not be happy with what he sees in The World State. From this point, we read the Huxley’s questioning of
