His wish to be alone is the reason why he wants to go to the islands. He ends up spending his time alone, because he does not like the people of the New World. He is searching for truth, which is a foreign idea to the citizens of the New World. He does not fit into the New World and he does not agree with the morals they lived by. He goes to the controller at one point and asks if he “mightn’t go to the islands with” Helmholtz and Bernard (Huxley, 242). He does not live by the same moral code as the other citizens of the New World. He is an outsider in the New World as well because he is a “Savage” from the Indian Reservation. He is a “stranger in the reservation,” because he was born of a woman from the New World and his skin was much more pale than the others (Huxley, 118).
He is an outsider in both the Indian Reservation and the New World. Lastly, the ultimate example of an outsider is John. Linda is a fitting example of an outsider in the book because she aged, she has a kid, and she lived on the Indian Reservation with the same morals as the people from the New World. She becomes an outsider on the Reservation. The women who lived on the reservation hate her deeply.
She is used to sleeping with many men, so when she “had people in the ordinary way, the others wicked” (Huxley, 121). She is used to the New World, and when she first arrives in the Indian Reservation, she is viewed as different. Linda is also viewed as an outsider on the Indian Reservation. Lenina does not know that this was the natural aging process. When Lenina first sees Linda, she is disgusted at “all the lines on her face” and she cringes at the sight of “the wrinkles” and her “sagging cheeks, with those purple blotches” (Huxley, 119). Another reason Linda isn’t accepted is the fact that she aged. The idea of a family disgusts the citizens of the New World and she is definitely viewed as an outsider for having one. The word “mother” alone “made Lenina look uncomfortable” (Huxley, 118). People in the New World are shocked when they learn of the child. First of all, she had a child, which is unheard of in their society. John’s mother, Linda, is another classic example of an outcast in Brave New World. When they accept him, he likes the society which shows how hypocritical he is. He disapproves of the society in the New World because they didn’t accept him in the beginning. His sudden change in attitude shows how shallow he is. He really enjoys his newfound popularity. He throws a party and is all of the sudden the most popular kid around. He begins to conform because deep down all he wants to do is fit in.
