The book I read was Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. This was the first book I've read by this author and I don't have very much previous knowledge of him. The reason I chose to read this book was that I thought it had an interesting description located on a list I found of suggested books to read. After reading this book I think I would enjoy reading other books by the same author. .
The main characters in this book were Lenina Crowne, Bernard Marx, the savage (John), and Linda. The main female character is Lenina Crowne who is 19 years old. She is a Beta lab worker. Lenina goes to the reservation with Bernard and that's where they see the savage and Linda. Bernard Marx is one of the most important male characters. He is an Alpha Plus Intellectual who works at the Psychology Department of the Central London Hatcheries and Conditioning Center. Unlike most people in the world he lives in he doesn't agree with society, he also feels alienated from others because of his physical characteristics. Some think that alcohol was accidentally put in his blood-surrogate and it caused him to be shorter and thinner than most males of his social status. John the savage is the song of Linda and Tomakin. His mother, Linda, was impregnated by Tomakin 25 years ago and she then disappeared; Meanwhile, John was brought up on the reservation. He is brought back to the civilized world by Bernard to embarrass the director. Linda is the mother of the savage John, after she returns to London with Lenina and Bernard she goes on a permanent soma holiday and then dies shortly. I think the protagonist in this book is the savage John. Lenina and Bernard can also be considered protagonists. The main antagonist in this book is society and what it has become. In the end John commits suicide due to society. .
The book starts out in the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Center. The director (Tomakin) is leading a tour of students and showing them the process of how human beings are created, Lenina is one of the workers.
