John Savage (Son of Tomakin, Bernard's boss)

Huxley tries to make a statement with this book, he tries to make something clear to the reader. To do this he uses characters, but they're insignificant to what his real intentions are, he merely uses them to express his ideas, therefor their character

Characteristics: The story is set in our world, in the future (some 600 years from now). It is in the year 632 after Ford. Society has turned into a controlled state, individual thought is bannished, and the human being is only on this earth to serve a sociological and scientifical purpose. There's no space for free speech, emotion or even literature that reminds of the free spirit. The narrator is omniscient, as said before, Huxley expresses his political and scientifical ideas through the characters, therefor he sometimes 'steps' in to their heads, but mostly tells the story as he was telling their history. There is symbolism in the book, once again Huxley warns us as readers not to grow to dependent of material wealth and science, there's a moral to the stroy, "watch out or you'll end up like this...". The genre of the book is that of alternative realism, but as it spreads certain ideas, it's also called a 'novel of ideas'. The title is quite easy to explain: it comes from a work by Shakespreare, 'The Tempest'. John once quotes it when he still thinks that this new world is only wonder and beauty... The book is written in an easy readable way, no real difficult words, and not much hard philosofical, mind twisting passages to overcome. The climax of the story is when Bernard has picked up John and his mother, and suddenly has a certain grip on his boss, who was about to fire him (John is the unlawful son of his boss). After that he also gets the idea that his earlier urge to something individual has it's roots in true freedom, and thus he wants to be free. But instead he uses John to get attention and 'respect' from his fellow Alphas.

Bernard and Lenina go on a rocket trip to the Savage Reservation in New Mexico, on their holiday. In this region of the new world primitive society and the old fasioned lifestyle were preserved in the interest of science. They meet John, one of the few white men among the indians. John tells them that he is the son of a man called Tomakin, he had visited the Reservation too, accompanied by a girl, many years ago. Tomakin had returned to civilization without the girl. Without birth control she gave birth to a son, John, who grew up among the indians. John taught himself to read and the only learning he had was what he had picked up from reading Shakespeare. Bernard guesses that John was thus the unlawful son of his boss, the director of the Hatcheries, who once had been to New Mexico, a long time ago, and returned without his female companion. Bernard invites John and his
