Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World” presents us with John, a character whose fascinating intricacies set him apart from the homogenous masses. Deemed a “Savage,” John grew up outside the confines of the World State, affording him an idiosyncratic outlook on existence. However, this uniqueness also casts him as a primitive outsider within the World State’s sterilized society.
John’s character is a labyrinth of complexities. He wrestles with a foreign and bewildering world, torn between his personal convictions and societal expectations. His tumultuous journey ultimately culminates in exile to an island where he confronts the harsh reality of his identity and grapples with the harsh rejection by a society that he could not assimilate into.
His narrative resonates powerfully, revealing the perils of blind conformity and highlighting the significance of individuality, especially in a world that prioritizes uniformity above all.
