15-Brave New World-Moral Character

"Linda had been a slave, Linda had died; others should live in freedom, and the world would be made beautiful. A reperation, a duty."
 (pg.210)

This quote reveals a new moral character. I found it very interesting that Huxley included it so late in the novel. It is quite paradoxical that the "civilized" people refer to John as a savage. However, as a reader, I see it quite the opposite. John seems to be the only one normal in the story. He is the only character not conditioned to like what he is supposed to; he is the only person to think freely for himself. The quote from the passage foreshadows an overwhelming sense of duty to try to bring others into the same free-thinking state of mind he has. His frustration is completely understandable by me, the reader, but inconceivable by anyone "civilized" in the story with a few exceptions. This foreshadowed thinking brings him to try to help the children being conditioned but instead gets him into serious trouble.
