Deep in the night the last helicopter flies home and he is still alone. He slashes his whip over her till she is lying on the ground. One day lot of people come to watch like he slashes his body, Lenina is under these people, too. A few days later the reporters find him and want to photograph him. He goes to a lighthouse and wants to live there alone. John wants to go with them, but he can’t. Mustapha sends Bernard Marx to Iceland and Helmoltz Watson to the Falkland Islands after this incident. Mustapha’s a very intelligent man and knows very much about the whole history, which is normally forbidden. Mustapha and John talk about Shakespeare and the Bible. But the police is also very fast, they take these three friends and send them to Mustapha Mond (World State Controller). At this moment Helmholtz Watson (he understands the opinion of John very well and they are good friends now) and Bernard are coming in to help John. Many people get angry and want to kill him. He takes a package of soma and put it out of the window. He talks to his mother, but Linda is in an other world. Linda (his mother) is near death, says the voice. She flees into the bathroom and at the same moment the phone rings. At this moment Lenina begins to take off her clothes. Some days after Lenina went to John to have sex with him, John wants to tell her that he loves her. She does it, but John doesn’t like it very much. One day Bernard says, Lenina should take John to the feelies. John gets to know Lenina and like her very much. Linda takes more and more soma to be happy. Caste people never see old people and because of that they don’t like her. Linda is never accepted in the new world, because she’s fat and old. As a result Bernard needn’t go to Iceland. When Bernard shows Thomas his son, he is very shocked and gives up his job. They agree and are very happy about that. Bernard makes an offer to John and Linda to take them to the Brave New World. In the Reservation this is not normal, because every woman has got just one man. John’s an outsider like Bernard, because his mother had sex with other savages. When she discovered she was pregnant (the ultimate shock!), she had to stay among the savages. There he discovers John the Savage, son of Linda who had visited the reservation more than 20 years ago and was accidentally left behind. At one point Bernard takes Lenina, an betha girl, on a vacation to the Savage Reservation in New Mexico. Both are not normal in this civilized world! Bernard’s boss, director Thomas, wants to send him to Iceland, if he doesn’t change his opinion about society. He is an outsider like his friend Helmholtz Watson, who is an alpha person too, but too intelligent for this world, because he has got his own thoughts. The story concerns Bernard, an alpha plus man, who looks like a gamma person and desires to spend time alone just thinking or looking at the stars. The state’s slogan is: Community, Identity, Stability. People always get the drug after work and they can have it for free! In this world, people never have long relationships, they’ve got just dates to have sex! While sex is universal, love, marriage, and parenthood are viewed as obscene. That’s because of their drug soma, which’s got no side-effects. All people are not more than cells in the social body, but they’re always happy. Everyone is happy with his caste, his job and his place in society, because of the hypnosis and sleep-teaching. Epsilon (wear black) is the deepest caste, they’re stupid, can’t write or read, but they don’t feel like the loser group. Gammas (wear green) and Deltas (wear khaki) have to do low work, who aren’t very clever. Bethas are intelligent too, but not like Alphas and they wear mulberry. Alphas are very intelligent, like sports, are very attractive and they wear gray. There are five castes: Alphas, Bethas, Gammas, Deltas and Epsilons. The embryos are predestinated and conditioned to do their jobs later. (After Ford, now it’s the 26 century), the year of stability, people are produced and hatched in bottles.
