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 pot of semblance and world of uninterest.

 the curiosity of others ends, and as a supreme result of his arrogant 
            
 behaviour, 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
