In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World John the savage torments himself with thoughts about his two worlds. As the thoughts fight in his mind and his actions help him discover which way to go he helps the reader to understand why utopic societies hurt the individual.
John the savage troubles himself with two main forces that pull him in different directions. The first force deals with the society that he grew up in. That society, the savage reservation, is what is natural to him, it is what he understands. John feels driven towards this society because it is his comfort zone even though as a child he was given mostly heartache. The other force compelling John is haunting new world.With his love for Lenina, he gravely attempts to fit in, however with the way in which both societies tug at him, he falls into confusion and despair.
Brave New World shows the inner part of John's mind. As the story unfolds and John comes to realize that this utopic society has it's flaws and could really never work. This society brings john down and destroyes him. Because of his troubles John decides to end his life, in relation to today's society this shows that if someone is brought into a new lifestyle through a sudden unpredictable change then serious pain could be brought upon that person. Brave New World is like a hint to the world about what could happen when society puts too much pressure on a person, showing how they could overwhelm themselves in the end taking their lives.
John the savage's mind is compelled by two different societies. With one being utopic and the other being "savage" he finds himself unable to understand the methods of why people do what they do. Also he cannot find a way to overcome his problems without suicide.
