Q. What is the climax of this novel? What happens? How do the events of this novel make you feel?
A. The climax of the novel is when John makes a mess at the hospital where his mother was residing. Linda was in the hospital for taking too much soma which made her go into coma that she cannot come back alive again. Then when John is visiting his mother a group of children come into be “death-conditioned so that they wouldn’t be scared of death. The children ridicule Linda’s physical appearance which makes John furious. Before any of this happens John feels so welcomed into the New Society that he doesn’t realize that it is actually dystopia in which people are living in. This New Society was forged with superficial happiness that needs to be replenished with soma. In the end he decides to make a difference and try to lead mankind into the right path.
What happens in the climax is that John goes out of his mother’s hospital room and goes to a room where the Delta identical twins were getting their rations of soma. When John gets into the room he forcefully throws the rations away to show the Deltas that they can turn away from this and still be happy. John believed that the New World’s happiness is not enhancing mankind but destroying it into a group of people who can only do what they’re told to do. After this John chooses a different path to live in the New World. In addition, he realizes that the New World is dystopia and that the people were soul-less. The events of this novel make me feel so sad because it points out so many mistakes humans are working towards right now. Furthermore, I felt that if we progressed into the future like Brave New World we would be thoughtless humans only wanting a drug to keep us alive.
