The Significance of hind end in Brave New World   In Brave New World, there ar three societies the civilized society of Bernard and Mustapha Mond, the savage society of John and Linda, and the old society, which is not explicitly in the book but is described by the characters. These societies argon vastly different. The old society is 20th century Western society the civilized society creates people and conditions them for happiness and stability and the savage society is really far behind the civilized society technologically, and is very religious. John is a very important character in the novel because he represents the link amongst all three of these societies. Johns mother was created in the civilized society and lived there until John was accidentally conceived. She had to move to the savage society, and John was born and raised there. John had a connection to civilized society from an early age from hearing stories from his mother. He also came across a book of Shake speare and by reading it, in condition(p) about old society. These however, are just preliminary connections for the bridges that will soon be built.   The adult John comes to civilized society as an audition by Marx and Mond to see how a savage would adapt to civilization. Frankly, he does not adapt very well. He is appalled by the lifestyle and ideas of civilized people, and gets himself into a lot of trouble by denouncing civilization. He loves Lenina very more than, but gets very upset at her when she wants to have sex with him. He physically attacks her, and from that point on does not want to have anything to do with her. When his mother dies, he interferes with the death conditioning of children by being sad. Finally, his frustrations with the civilized world become too much for him and he decides to take action. He tries to be a sort of a Messiah to a group of Deltas, trying to free them from the effect of soma. He tells them provided the truth, but it is not the tr uth that the Deltas have been conditioned to believe, so to them it is a violent lie and they begin to cause a riot. When the riot is subdued, John is grasp and taken to have a talk with Mustapha Mond.   This talk with Mustapha Mond is very enlightening for John, and it creates his connection with the old society.
