Brave New World
Brave New World- Lenina Crowne (Major)Lenina is a very pretty girl that works in the hatchery. She is emotional, naive, and capricious, and falls in love with John the Savage. It is implied that Bernard Marx, member of the Psychology Bureau and main character, loves her. Lenina, however, is dating Henry Foster, who also works at the Hatchery. She relies on her best friend, Fanny Crowne, who is later introduced in the story as two-dimensional and superficial. Lenina is urged to find another lover, other than Henry, so she gets involved with Bernard. Bernard proposes that they go see the Indian Reservation together and Lenina accepts. Then, they meet John, who is different from the rest of the natives. After John tells Lenina and Bernard his story, she falls in love with his difference. This shows that Lenina is looking for change and love. She is seeking attention through lovers and is emotionally unstable.

All the processes are nervously precise and the place is immaculately aseptic. The reader is in awe at the precision of the plant, but bewildered at the power the people who work there possess. The reader is apprehensive and disconcerted because of such an unreal and machine-like setting. At the Indian Reservation- The society that is considered to be savage is much like our society.
