"Thew door of the lighthouse was ajar. They pushed it open and walked into a shuttered twilight. Through an archway on the further side of the room they could see the bottom of the staircase that led up to the higher floors. Just under the crown of the arch dangled a pair of feet."
-Brave New World Page 259
The weight of the "Brave New World" that the Savage was thrust into finally crashes down upon the Savage. The new lifestyle thrust upon the world by the maniacal government has finally driven a man to take his own life. The pleasure-centered ways of the new world does not sit well with the Savage. He feels life should and needs to be tough to make it worth living. These people living in such sin angers the Savage because of the beliefs instilled in him by the natives back on the reserve. He cannot stand living with such filthy people.
