A Brave New World Blog #20 What are the causes, gains, and losses of the conflict dealt with in this book?

The main conflict in A Brave New World would have to be the way that the Savage acts towards the end. The Savage rebels and goes to live by himself on an island where people keep coming to see him and take pictures of him. At the very end he actually ends up killing Lenina.

The causes of this conflict are the Savage's mother dying, and Bernard trying to take the Savage to all kinds of meetings. When his mother dies it really effects the Savage and makes him see this new world they have brought him to as evil. The Savage doesn't want to meet anymore of these people and Bernard keeps trying to make him, the Savage sort of just snaps.

The gains of the conflict are that maybe people in the "civilization" as they call it, will see how crazy and unnatural they are living their lives. Right before the Savage leaves to his island he argues with the Controller about the way these people are living their lives.

The main loss of the conflict is that Lenina had to die. She comes with a bunch of tourists to visit the Savage and it just makes him so mad that she is there, because he loves her apparently, that he kills her in front of a crowd and nobody even tries to help her.
