Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

The major characters were John and Bernard. John was known as the "savage". His character traits are misunderstood,concerned,deppressed,determined, hopeful, guilty,frustrated,popular,sorry, and serious. Bernard is the lonley and miaunderstood one. he's a little bit like John in some ways. His character traits are afraid, cautious, cowardly,miserable, unpopular, secretive, serious, shy, and strange.They are both protantagonists because they try to fight against the world they were living in. Unfortunatly, they failed in doing so. A theme of this novel was death because that was what caused so much drama in the book and it also caused suspence. It is also a theme because that was what caused John to try his hardest in changing the world. The conflict was character vs society and character vs self. Character vs society because John tries to change the world for the better. Character vs self because John feels guilty for the death of his mother and it eventually lead to his own death. The point of view was third person omniscent because Aldous knew what each character introduced was thinking not only one character. The plot was Johnand Bernard trying to convince their "leader" Mustapha Mond that the world could be better if changed. In the beginning Bernard finds John and his mom Linda and takes them to "his" world. Linda is everyday taking soma and too much of it. She eventually dies because of that and John loses his mind and confronts Mustapha with Bernard.They fail and are sent to islands John eventually kills himself when the people from the "other" world won't leave him in peace. A major setting was the island were John was sent. On the island was a lighthouse which was were John lived. He killed himself in that very lighthouse. The book didn;t say were it was located but it was sort of far from London (the "other" world).
