John's Role In Brave New World

Improved Essays
John's role in Brave New World was to find a balance in life, where everything was fair and fixed. That there was no Alphas or Betas. Everyone should be treated equal and fair. People shouldn’t come out of machines and then be told what they like and don’t like, what they do and not do. That the people should be able to choose the things they want and have emotions to the bad things that happen to them. Soma should be banned and shouldn’t be a solution to when things tough. John wants to learn new things and not be judged off of it, but he can’t. For that reason John cuts the line to his life, to be relieved of the corruption that everyone has brought upon the world.

All the other people of the World State have been conditioned since birth to not have real emotions, and they have been made to think that traditional families are not right and pornographic. Language really does influence the thought, behavior, and actions of those in the World State.…
