However, John’s forced exposure to Linda’s sexual relationships placed him far away from that true home within himself, amounting to exile. This exposure was very central in formulating John’s rejection of sexual behavior outside of marriage, thus rejecting a major component of civilized society itself. John transformed this rejection into anger when he thought of the men who visited his mother: “He hated them all – all the men who came to see Linda” (Page 125). As a result, these experiences enriched John by giving his life more direction and leading him to place more value on personal connections with women. When tempted by Lenina’s aesthetic beauty, he erupted, “’Detestable thought!’

Conclusion In Chapter 5 of Brave New World, Bernard and Lenina have meaningless sex under the influence of drugs. These events demonstrate Huxley’s depiction of the degrading society that he saw in the Roaring Twenties when he visited the promiscuous United States.

He hovers, he quietly controls, and furthermore, portrays a narrow mind, to the point of extreme. “John is a physician, and PERHAPS—(I would not say it to a living soul, of course, but this is dead paper and a great relief to my mind)—PERHAPS that is one reason I do not get well faster.” (376) “You see he does not believe I am sick!” (376) as her self-awareness develops she becomes mindful of yet another symbol of John’s control and narrow mindedness. He has just enough arrogance to the point of telling his wife, how she should feel based on his own merits and limited knowledge of a female’s internal workings.

Sexual behavior has been evolving ever since it was first introduced to the society. Decades ago, sexual behavior was not seen and/or taken as serious as it is now. In addition, several acts that are now seen as grotesque, were once seen as something normal before. It is very significant to understand the historical context of the social perception of sexual behavior because of the way it is perceived now. The past “normal” acts depended on the acceptance of the society and the political ideologies.

When she takes him to a “feely”, trying to figure out if he is attracted to her like she is to him, it reinvigorates his love for her, although he suppresses his physical desire due to his own shame. This is an example of how different the two characters have been raised, with John focusing on true love and trying to see Lenina as a wholesome, pure virgin (similar to Juliet in the story Romeo and Juliet), and Lenina becoming infatuated with him because of his resistance to her sexual
