In Aldous Huxley’s ----- and progressive Brave New World, John’s journey is an example of how exile isn't necessarily a bad thing; exile in this novel helps push its characters towards unpleasant truths and self discovery, In the Savage Reservation, John’s clear alienation from the rest of the community affected his view on life. Through his mother’s teaching and lack of social interactions John became a ----- person. This form of allientation allowed John to learn and become --------. John’s exile from his home lead him to wonder about the big picture of life; what is truly wrong, what is truly right?

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World is set in London A.F. 632 where religion is nonexistent, familial relationships are considered pornographic, and the government maintains strict control over everyone’s lives from fertilization to cremation. However, this control is not universal as there are still pockets of the old world where savages are subjected to old age, disease, and matrimony. It is from the savage reservation in Malpais that Bernard Marx takes misfits John and Linda back with him, to London. While Linda dies a slow, easy death of soma overdose, John is forced to navigate this society with a mind unhindered by conditioning, soma, or propaganda. Through this he is able to see the dangers of complete, totalitarian control of the state

In a futuristic utopian society in which people are grown as nearly identical embryos in bottles, finding someone who is a complete outcast from the rest of society is rare. In Brave New World, the author, Aldous Huxley, makes John an exception. Isolated, disengaged, and rejected, John is truthfully not apart of the “civilized” World State culture or the “savage” Indian culture. Being the only person in the book not born in a laboratory, John additionally stands to represent a unique human being whose identity and family relationships violate all the other’s societal ideals. His experience with exile was alienating for his relationships with people yet enriching, at times, for his self expression.

We all deal with alienation, both internal and external, throughout our lives: it is an unavoidable condition that universally afflicts all humans. However, oftentimes we can alienate ourselves from other people more than is necessary, putting a divide between us and the rest of humanity by no fault but our own. Both John and Amir in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner face great internal struggles with alienation throughout their whole lives, many times making things worse for themselves than is needed, and forging their characters by fire; yet the natures of their hardships are inherently different, leading the protagonists down two disparate paths: one to personal triumph and the other to tragedy.

In Brave New World, John the Savage was exiled indirectly and directly from his native place. Although John the Savage was exiled, he found the positive in everything from the moment that he was young until the moment he realized that all he heard was wrong about the New World. The aspect of the New World was told to him through stories as a child and towards the end John then finds that it’s not all it is thought of to have been.

John in Brave New World John was one of the main characters in Brave New World. He was an outsider in his homeland of the Savage Reservation, and even more so in the World State in London. He did not fit in with either culture. His moral values and his literacy enriched him, but they also alienated him and brought about his suicide. In the World State, he was not able to deal with his internal conflict of desire and morality.

The first bit of significance to this quote is the suicide of John. As a savage brought into society, he was distinctly different from everyone else physically and psychologically. The introduction of John began the real conflict in the story and highlighted Huxley's real themes of happiness and the border between solidarity and community. Back on the reservation, John was lonely and discluded from the “Native American” society. He desired unity with others and therefore was exhilarated

In this essay, the main character shows development through the main theme of isolation. Lisa Moore wrote the novel by going back and forth in the life of Helen from the time she fell in love with Cal, the way they got married to the day of tragedy when Cal died in the Ocean Rig. The protagonist is shown as a very powerful leading character. The main character is Helen, women who try her best to live her life without her husband and the antagonist is husband’s death, ocean ranger sank. It is based on a true story, this incident occurred on Valentine’s Day when the Ocean Ranger Oil Rig sank across the coast. Eighty-four people died who were on board. The author develops character in the novel by showing how dependent she was on her husband but

John is brought into the novel at the Savage Reservation. The Savage Reservation, New Mexico, is located on the other side of the world from where the main setting of the novel is. On this reservation resides an Indian tribe that is left by the government to hold the land for them. The Indians have a darker tone of skin than white people, “The dress of the young man who now stepped out on to the terrace was Indian; but his plaited hair was straw-colorued, his eyes a pale blue, and his skin a white skin, bronzed” (Huxley 116). John the Savage is white and does not blend in with the rest of the tribe.

Exile is a subject very few touch upon. Exile is never really spoken about because once you are alienated by those you once considered friends or family, a gaping hole opens and no one really knows how to explain it other than just that; a hole that can only be filled with the one place on earth you feel safe; home. When exiled, a rift opens between the individual that was cast out and their home, and family and friends. This so called “rift” that opens between a person and their “home” is evident in Brave New World with John’s life. John is a white man who is interested in the tribal customs of the Indians, in this novel called “savages”, which are very different and looked down upon by the citizens of the World State society.

In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, John’s identities are influenced by two opposite societies, and even though he tries to prove his manhood and change the framework of brave new world, he can’t gain real acceptance from anywhere. John’s mother, Linda, is from the brave new world but gave birth to him in the savage reservation and her different behaviors based on the framework of the brave new world caused John’s isolation in the savage reservation. John decides to move to the brave new world and becomes popular in this society, but his identity, influenced by his “savage” culture, can’t be accepted by the community. His conflict with the brave new world finally forces him to try to change the framework of the society, but his attempt is

Aldous Huxley used the sense of isolation a lot throughout the venture of the novel. Huxley used isolation in the tone of the characters voices, and when the characters had a sense of being alone. He would show this feeling of isolation by telling us readers the sound of the characters voices when they are in certain situations, like when Fanny spent his time alone, Huxley would say he has horror in his voice. A sense of horror in a confined area has everything to do with the feeling of isolation, but there are different types of isolations. John grew up hating that he was always kept away from the indians, but as the book went on John just wanted to be alone and be by himself. Some of the characters throughout the novel had a feeling of intense

I engulf the feeble victim in seemingly unescapable loneliness, overtaking the joys of their heart and ensnaring them in a pit of desolate solitude. The sense of bleakness will overcome the senses and suck out all the bliss they hold close. Because it appears most of humanity rely on one another for comfort and joy, the unavoidable reality of being unaccompanied is enough to drive a man mad. I describe the sense of separation that strikes a soul, sucking out every ounce of remembrance and comfort the past attempts to bring. Yesterday will never return, just as tomorrow always comes; it’s inevitable. Once I reach you, it’s a struggle to get rid of this parasite that I am, called isolation. There comes a point where the victim will decide

Another two important themes this novel is based on is Illusion and Isolation, a false interpretation or perception. Illusion affords each of the three main characters a means of escape from the reality of the silent and isolated lives they lead. According to Wharton, Ethan would " imagine that peace reigned in his house" when Zeena stopped watching Mattie so closely after her arrival. Isolation, which is not self-imposed before the tragedy that befalls Mattie and Ethan, but is enforced upon them by outside circumstances. Ethan tried to escape the isolation of Starkfield and his father's farm by going off to the technological college at Worcester. He began to cultivate his own social traits and to overcome his reticence; however, his

Community, “ The people of a district or country considered collectively, especially in the context of social values and responsibilities ”(Oxford Dictionaries). Isolation “Cause (a person or place) to be or remain alone or apart from others”(Oxford dictionaries). These keywords can describe emotions in the world and is what tears them from society or brings them closer in. In Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer demonstrates the ideals of community and isolation for a young boy named Chris McCandless, who ventures into the wild to achieve isolation in his world. Exemplifying this, he created a new identity for himself as Alexander Supertramp a leather tramp, who draws many people in but does not care much for the people he meets, so he can achieve
