Brave New World Part III

 I've just finished BNW and all I have to say is wow. John is dead. He killed himself in the last chapter which although it left me speechless wasn't a shocker.  I understand why John did it , he felt he couldn't live in the world anymore. Because the civilized world, the one he'd always dreamt of, had been a lie. No emotions, no solitude, no passion. None of that existed in his BNW and so he left, only to be pursued and humiliated. That had me thinking what I would do if I were in that situation. I understand how he feels, it would be hard to live as the only outsider in a society, and then when you find like minded people they are sent away, and your left alone. That would be hard to adjust to. But I wouldn't end my life. I feel John took the easy way out, opting to end his life than endure his society. I also feel that if John continued any longer he would have gone insane. It's contradictory, live and go insane or die a coward. It gives me mixed feelings, but nevertheless I enjoyed the book. Not only has it made me think about the future, but it's also made me realize a truth: In order to achieve a perfect society things will have to be sacrificed. Whether it be your rights, your mind, your body, or even your children, something has to go, and BNW made me realize that.
