They all express lust for one another, but none of them have the capability of wanting to settle down and getting married to someone. When John first met Lenina, he instantly was love-struck. “He gave a gasp and was silent, gaping. He had seen, for the first time in his life, the face of a girl whose cheeks were not the colour of chocolate or dogskin, whose hair was auburn and permanently waved, and whose expression (amazing novelty) was one of benevolent interest.” (Huxley, 117).

He suggests that they shouldn’t do what she’s implying until marriage, according to his religion. She then passes up his comments and John pushes her away and hurts her. John is conflicted by his emotions of wanting her love, but also following his
