With Fate and Freewill at hand, it can go either way. Fate being what is going to happen in the future of a person’s life or society while free will being that society or a person can decide whether they are going to make change to the future depending on what is or isn't going to be changed.

Both of these take a big role in the book and both show fate vs freewill throughout the book in many ways. “Yes everybody's happy nowadays’. We begin giving the children that at five. But wouldn’t you like to be free to be happy in some other way, Lenina? In your own way, for example; not in everybody else’s way?”, (Huxley 91). This quote is basically saying that everyone seems to always be happy in the day Bernard and Lenina are living in and it makes Bernard question what is real happiness. In the story, children that are the age of five have been implanted with a vision of what “happiness” really is when in reality it is not the right way towards happiness. He then asked Lenina if she would like to be happy in her own way that isn't everybody else’s.

He then went to the top and then hung himself which led to the first arrivals to call “Mr. Savage!” and then they end up finding John’s dead body hanging.
