Book

[Andrew]

Bernard and Lenina take a trip to a settlement where they study a group of humans who they refer to as savages. This testing ground is a area where there are none of the innovations that their society has and that has completely abandoned religion and any form of love. The fact that they have relationships and religions to Lenina and Bernard seem completely odd and they are left befuddled.

[Andrew]

After some time they run into a person person who was left stranded there in an accident named Linda. She was a part of the future like society in london and enjoyed the human fun like soma and conditioning. Soma is drug that completely removes someone from there head space and gives them a brain numbing time. She had been left there for some amount of time and found the way to live was drinking a alcoholic drink and taking part in a large amount of lust. Lust in the London society is very normal because they are conditoned that way by birth.

[Andrew]

It turns out that Linda had a child. His name was John. He was bullied by the other town folks because his mother slept with the other married men. Linda doesn't really understand what's the problem with this at all because of the conditioning she underwent in London as a child and adult. John is then forced to take on the burden of having Linda as his parent and can barely take it. He loves Shakespeare and many of the older writers. These free thinkers are all banned in the modern world like London and much of europse that had developed creating eugenic like practices.

Bernard feels kind of close to this kid John. But his eventual goal is to take advantage of him and benefit his popularity. Bernard is also somwhate different from the modern world despite his flaws. Lenina is a prime example at this time of a conditioned person. We also learn that John's rage had festered so much to even trying to take pope's life while he is sleeping with Linda drunk off of the mescal. He doesn't end up doing it but he nears the idea of killing him. Pope is also the one that gave Linda the book of Shakespeare which shifts John's view on life. After having a talk with Bernard, John decides to take himself and his mother to the modern world. He also begins to fall in love with lenina just like Bernard. But John's love is kind of faulty in the standards of the modern world because he is old fashioned and doesn't want to be lustful/sinful unlike the conditioning Lenina got.
