Brave New World August 3, 2010 Pages 236-259

The Savage attempts to purify himself from the evils of the civilized world. He moves away from the civilized world, preffering to live alone. He purifies himself of dirty thoughts. He makes himself physically sick and whips himself to gain purtity. He becomes a sort of hermit in a future world. The society finally finds him and uses him as a form of entertainment. The society turns even the most driven individual to act impurely and participate in an orgy. Because of his actions, the Savage decides to commit suicide. The skewed and perverted views of civilization caused a pure and work-oriented man to commit suicide. The pressures of civilization were too great to handle for someone who was not conditioned to live in civilization. Is it really civilized when you have to be condtioned before being able to conciously think to be able to survive? That kind of life would be entirely unbearable.
