As man has progressed through the ages, there has been, essentially, one purpose. That
            
 purpose is to arrive at a utopian society, where everyone is happy, disease is nonexistent, and
            
 strife, anger, or sadness are unheard of. Only happiness exists. But when confronted with
            
 Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, we come to realize that this is not, in fact, what the
            
 human soul really craves. In fact, Utopian societies are much worse than those of today. In a
            
 utopian society, the individual, who among others composes the society, is lost in the melting

 Thus, through a series of events, Bernard uses the curiosity of the society to his advantage,
            
 fulfilling his subconscious wish of becoming someone important; a recognized name in the
            
 jumble of society. This ends when the curiosity of others ends, and as a supreme result of his
            
 arrogant behavior, he is exiled. The instigator of this curiosity as well as the author of
            
 Bernard's fame (and folly), is an outsider know as the Savage. The Savage is brought in
            
 from outside of the utopian society by Bernard as an experiment. He faces "civilized society"
            
 with a bright outlook, but eventually comes to hate it bitterly.
            
 	Lenina, the supporting role of the novel, is the most pronounced example of the ideal
