Aldous Huxley uses the point of view of an outsider, or Savage, to give the reader different perspectives of his dystopian world in Brave New World. After traveling to the World State from the reservation, John (the savage) disagrees with the lack of intimacy, morality, and free will he witnesses there, which shows the reader a very different side of the World State . . These imperfections, along with many other factors, cause John to descend into madness and he ultimately commits suicide. There is a severe lack of intimacy or close personal relationships in the World State that makes John feel isolated and unsure of how to behave towards others, which provides the reader with insights into relationship relationships in the World State. A great example of the contrast between John's opinions and those of the rest of the world is his relationship with his mother. By today's standards they were not exceptionally close, but their relationship is closer than any other in the world state. When his mother dies, the rest of the world seems to find no understanding of his plight making him feel alone. The reason for this is that no one has ever had an intimate relationship with anyone else and no one in the World State has ever had a mother, because the controllers of the world almost feel as if "it is somehow more scientific to deny that love is an original emotion”. , and speak instead of the curbing and deflection of instinct and the functional value of this largely conjectural process for the stability and continuity of society” (Miller 25). Indeed, “to say that one was a mother—that was now a joke: it was an obscenity” (Huxley 126). The lack of intimacy in the World State is also countered by John's reading...... middle of paper ... through John's denial of Lenina's advances and his feelings of unworthiness throughout the novel. Finally, the lack of freedom is shown most vividly through John's reactions to the many radical practices to maintain stability in the World State. The use of an outsider in a dystopian novel greatly benefits the novel itself by showing many different perspectives on the flawed aspects of the society depicted.
