Brave New World
Brave New World- Lenina Crowne (Major)Lenina is a very pretty girl that works in the hatchery. She is emotional, naive, and capricious, and falls in love with John the Savage. It is implied that Bernard Marx, member of the Psychology Bureau and main character, loves her. Lenina, however, is dating Henry Foster, who also works at the Hatchery. She relies on her best friend, Fanny Crowne, who is later introduced in the story as two-dimensional and superficial. Lenina is urged to find another lover, other than Henry, so she gets involved with Bernard. Bernard proposes that they go see the Indian Reservation together and Lenina accepts. Then, they meet John, who is different from the rest of the natives. After John tells Lenina and Bernard his story, she falls in love with his difference. This shows that Lenina is looking for change and love. She is seeking attention through lovers and is emotionally unstable. John wants Lenina desperately but calls her a prostitute because she constantly throws herself at him, which he thinks is immoral. She is like many other citizens: shallow and unhappy. Like all well conditioned citizens of the World State, Lenina believes in having sex whenever she wants. She is too shallow to understand why J
This shows, more explicitly, that pain makes life seem real. At the Indian Reservation- The society that is considered to be savage is much like our society. They go to the reservation and are disgusted at what they see. Lenina is urged to find another lover, so she gets involved with Bernard Marx. The Utopian's are later disgusted by John and Linda's behavior, and are exiled along with Bernard and Helmholtz. Very wise, intelligent, and agrees with John the Savage up to an extent, but prefers Utopia to Pre-Utopia. Bernard gets permission to take Lenina to a Savage Reservation, and this is where they meet John, a handsome young savage that Lenina immediately falls in love with. The reader is in awe at the precision of the plant, but bewildered at the power the people who work there possess. Linda- Had once worked in the hatchery, but left in the Indian Reservation after she bore John. There is a sense of family, a knowledge of hardship, and an acceptance of emotions. Bernard is a nonconformist citizen of the Utopian society who is unhappy. Lenina doesn't understand what real love is because she thinks that love is not an emotion, and that she can go from one guy to the next. When he does this, he is exiled along with Helmholtz and Marx, but commits suicide at the end. He is the only one that has to endure emotions and pain, and thus the reader sees his life as real and not machine-like.
