the images of an eagle and a man on a cross are raised, and a youth walks into the center of a pile of writhing snakes. A man whips him, drawing blood until the youth collapses.

John a, a handsome blond youth in an Indian dress, surpises them by speaking perfect english. He says that he wanted to be the sacrifice, but the town would not let him.

He explains that his mother, Linda came from the Other Place outside the reservation, she fell and suffered an injury, but was rescued by some Indians who found her and brought her to the village, where she has lived since.

Linda, wrinkled overweight, and missing teeth, she disgusts Lenina. Linda explains that John was born because something went wrong with her contraceptives.

She felt ashamed she could not get an abortion on the Reservation and felt too ashamed to go back to the World State with a baby. Linda explains that, after starting her new life in the Indian village, she followed all her conditioning and slept with any man she pleased, but some women beat her for taking their men to bed.

He grew up listening to Linda's fabulous stories about the other place. But he also felt isolated and rejected, partly because his mother slept with so many men and partly because the people of the village never accepted him

If he would like to go to London with him

he wants to embarrass the Director by exposing him as Johns father.

He cautions John to wait until he sees the World State, and what it has to offer.

The Reservation, so she takes enough soma to incapacitate herself for eighteen hours.

He flies to Santa Fe to call Mustapha Mond. He repeats his story to a sucession of secretaries before finally reaching the World Controller.

John and Linda are a matter of Scientific interest to the world state. Mond instructs Bernard to visit the Warden of the Reservation to pick up the orders that will release John and Linda into his care.

John breaks into the cabin, where Lenina is still on a soma holiday. He rifles through her things before he finds her passed out on his bed. He gazes at her quoting passages from Romeo and Juliet. He wants to tough her fears that it would defile her. As he gazes at her, Bernard's helicopter approaches, and John is able to run from the house and hide his trespass.

He plans to dismiss Bernard in front of dozens of high caste workers as a public example. He explains that that Bernard's unorthodox behavior threatens stability. Sacrificing one individual for the greater good of the society is no great loss since that Hatchery can churn out dozens of new babies.

heretical; because he refuses to behave like an infant and does not immediately seek to gratify his own desires. He tells Bernard that he is being transfered to Iceland.

Linda &John. Linda accuses the Director of making her have a baby and the room suddenly falls silent. John falls at the directors feet and cries, " My father!" The workers burst into peals of hysterical laughter as the director rushes out of the room.

unprecedented popularity as John's appointed guardian. He boosts his thriving sex life to Helmholtz, but Helmholtz responds only with a gloomy silence that offends Bernard.

He shamelessly parades his unorthodox behavior, thinking that his popularity as the Savage's discoverer and guardian will protect him

John finds civilized infantility too easy. Bernard says he agrees with John's verdict. Mond reading the heretical letter, thinks he might have to teach Bernard a lesson.

the sight of dozens of identical twins in a factory. with bitter irony, he echoes Shakespeare's line " O brave new world that has such people in it." He refuses to take soma and visits his mother often. He visits Eton where Alpha children laugh at a film of "savages" beating themselves with whips on a Reservation

She takes him to a feely entitled, Three Weeks in a Helicopter, that tells the story of a black man who kidnaps a blond Beta-Plus woman for his own enjoyment. John hates the movie, but it reinvigorates his passion for Lenina. His shame at his physical desire overwhelms him. To for Lenina. His shame at his physical desire overwhelms him, to Lenina's bewilderment, John refuses to have sex with her.

John refuses to leave his room.

Bernard is humilated and embarrassed as all of his guest including the Arch- Community-Songster of Cantebury, leave in contempt

see John again and find out why he behaved so strangely after the feely. The Arch- Community- Songster warns Bernard that he should be careful in his criticisms of the World State.

He makes John his scapegoat. Bernard is grateful and resentful that Helmholtz gives him the friendship he needs without criticizing him for his earlier friendliness. Helmholtz has gotten himself into trouble for reading some unorthodox rhymes to his students at the college.

But he is excited to have finally found a voice of his own.

Bernard is jealous of their affection for one another and wishes he had never brought them together.

He takes Soma to escape his feelings. John reads passages from Shakespeare to Helmholtz.

The poetry enraptures Helmholtz, but when John reads a passage from Romeo & Juliet about Juliet's parents trying to persuade her to mary Paris, Helmholtz burst into laughter. The absurdity oh having a mother and a father is not the only thing that he finds funny; the facts that anyone make a fuss over which man a girl should have is even funnier. John locks his book away because Helmholtz's laughter insults & wounds him.
