Post Choice B

The most notable character who struggles against society in Brave New World is John the Savage. He is victimized by being forced to assimilate to his new culture without being asked if it was the type of world he wanted to live in. At first he shelters himself away from them, secluding himself into a room, but he couldn't stay hidden inside forever. He refuses the soma, doesn't engage in sex freely like the other citizens, and continues to live a life guided by morals and ethics. A more permanent solution was to try to talk to the Director, Mustapha Mond, to try to reason with him. This rebellion causes Bernard to lose the respect of his peers, since the fellow scientist can't yet hold John accountable for his actions, he is only a savage who doesnt know any better. Afterwards John believes that he can help this society see the madness it has created, but Mustapha Mond is also strong in his conviction that science is the only means to progress humanity forward. His tactics fail since the entire society is so dependent on its government for guidance and happiness that they have forgotten how to be happy themselves. Although the society itself doesn't directly punish John, he still suffers consequences for his resistance to the system and its rules. By refusing to take soma or use the other vices available to him, John must live alone yet again with the haunting memories of a twisted shadow of humanity's former self. In the end John can't handle this new horrifying society he never knew existed, offending his beliefs so greatly that he realizes he can't change the society or himself, and tragically ends his life.
