Quote from Brave New World August 2, 2010 Page 222

"...we have no wish to have our throats cut," he answered. "We believe in happiness and stability. A society of Alphas couldn't fail to be unstable and miserable."
-Brave New World Page 222
Mustapha Mond explains to the Savage why having a civilization of Alphas wouldn't work. A civilization of the best and brightest would not work because they would detest being assigned the menial jobs of society, such as a street sweeper or doorman. They would also protest against poor working conditions. These things have happened throughout history. In the 1880's and 1890's many protests began in the United States over working conditions in factories. The workers banded together and organized protests to demand better conditions and pay. These actions all disrupt the peace, which the society of Brave New World is trying to avoid.

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.

In this section, the Savage and Helmholtz begin to discuss Shakespeare and other poetry. Helmholtz scoffs at the unorthodoxies of Shakespeare's works which include a mother and father and conflict. The reason Helmholtz is so negative towards the ancient works of poetry is because he has been conditioned to scoff at these things. If I, or anyone else had been taught that babies only come from machines and not mothers and fathers, we would have the same response to the literature. The society was taught that mothers and fathers were smut and had no place in civil society. These things were taught because eliminating allegiances was necessary to create an obedient society. The only allegiance any one person held was the allegiance to the government. This was one way in which the government gauranteed itself complete sovereignty and peace. No civilization has accomplished this task yet, but accomplishing this task means taking away freedoms and civil liberties.

Bernard's character begins to change in this section of the novel. After he retrieve Linda and John from the savage reservation in New Mexico, his character takes on a new persona. He becomes more confident and is drunk on his success. Other people are very interested in John because of his civilized mother and savage upbringing. Bernard receives much praise for his discovery. He changes from an unsure, almost anti-social government worker, to a man who is very confident in what he does and a man who does very well with his female counterparts. In his head is is still the same man he was before his fame, but his actions reflect those of a new man. His thoughts still show his disdain for social politics and the ways of society. Many of the others in his department begin to doubt his change, even though they act as if he is a great man for finding John.

Quote from Brave New World July 21, 2010 Page 119

"Ford! to kiss, slobberingly, and smelt too horrible, obviously never had a bath, and simply reeked of that beastly stuff that was put into Delta and Epsilon bottle (no, it wasn't true about Bernard), positively stank of alcohol. She broke away as quickly as she could." - Brave New World, Page 119
This quote shows the contempt Lenina feels for the ex-civilized Linda. Lenina hates being around Linda because she is dirty and smells of alcohol. She also disapproves of Linda's affection toward herself and Bernard. In the future, dirt is frowned upon. Since Lenina is not used to seeing any amount of dirt or smelling any kind of unclean smell, she finds the conditions that Linda lives in squalid. Humans are so conditioned that anything that goes against there conditioning is unbearable.

In this section of the novel, Bernard and Lenina are struck by the ways of life of the savages. Bernard and Lenina both believe that they are civilized and therefore more superior to these people. Lenina looks down her nose at these people because she believes they are unclean. Civilized people believe,"Cleanliness is next to Fordliness." The civilized people are taught this through sleep teaching, thus implanting the fear of dirt, smell, and other unclean things. Lenina is also shocked by the aging of some of the savages. Disease and old age do not exist in the civilized world. This is why Lenina is shocked and horrified by the sight of some of the older savages. The sight of a nursing mother also embarrasses Lenina. Having a raising children is considered vulgar in civilized society, but the savages cling to this custom of the old ways. The pueblo style of houses the savages live in are also foreign to civilization.
