Brave New World August 2, 2010 Pages 185-210
The Savage begins to resent living in the civilized world. He sees his mother die in a hospital where no one is especially bothered by death. Delta children mock him for caring about his mother. The Savage begins to change his opinions of the new civilized world. This is because he sees all the nice things of civilized life and sees that they are only being used to control the population. The Savage hates the promiscuity of civilized life. He calls Lenina a whore in a murderous rant. If I were the Savage I would also despise the ways of the new world. Orgy and sex are large parts of a normal citizens life. These actions go against all of the morals of a normal person of today. Casual sex is frowned upon today where it is encouraged in the world of tomorrow. I would mirror the actions taken by the Savage if I were put into his position.
