Brave New World demonstrates the effects of technology, and implies that pain is necessary for life to have meaning, The World State emerges as the antagonist of the novel, a force that prevents characters from achieving free will.
The plot is initiated when Bernard, protagonist, asks Lenina on a date to visit a Reservation (Reservation is the worst for the World State citizens), when I was reading I could see their mutual attraction but, Bernard and Lenina are incompatible, they have opposite opinions an actions in the book. I see that most of the main characters struggle to conform to society to one degree or another.
The conflict of the novel is developed before Lenina and Bernard’s trip, when the Director tells Bernard about his own visit to the Reservation, asking questions about how successful the society really is at creating an ideal existence, the Director describes being separated from the woman he was with, hurting himself, and having a painful trip back to the Reservation, which leads to the appearance of John and Linda, the woman he was with that got pregnant and gave birth to his son, John (the concept of mother is horrible for the World State society). At the Reservation, John and Lenina pass several scenes contrasting the two ideas of civilization, unlike in World State, people of the Reservation grow old, have disease, hunger, and treat each other with cruelty, at the same time, they create art, experience love and marriage, and have a powerful religious system. Bernard decides to take John and Linda to the Worlds State, after this John is going to become the protagonist of the novel and how he leads with the experiences he has on this new world.
The climax of the novel occurs when Linda dies and John, tries to stage a revolution. Helmholtz (Bernards friend) joins, while Bernard watches, unsure whether it is safer for him to join or call for help. Bernard becomes unsympathetic for his cowardice and lack of morality, Mustapha Mond exiles Bernard and Helmholtz, then discusses religion, literature, and art with John.
The falling action of the novel takes place after John exiles himself from the city, and attempts to live a life as free of comfort and ease as possible. Reporters find him whipping himself, and soon he is surrounded by a crowd of onlookers demanding a show. It turns into an orgy, which John participates in. The next day, horrified by what he’s done, he hangs himself.
