I like your idea about having a final scene going back to the world as a whole. -Anna O. Minji, in all honesty, I could not agree with you more, especially the points that you made in your second to last paragraph. Regardless of the fact that the ending The ending of the book leaves zero room for future stories. predict that this would’ve led to the same result of John ending his own life Since that wasn't present in this novel, it may explain why a lot of people were disappointed by the ending or felt that John killing himself didn't do much to upset the World order in BNW. From the appearance of it, the most powerful man in Western Europe is not pleased with the exploits of these three, even if Bernard didn't exactly take part in the riot at the hospital that led to them all being arrested. emphasized the power of this society as a whole, and is demonstrating the 'Brave New World' Ending Explained: Lenina, Bernard and John go their separate ways while AI Indra evolves. It seems like there would certainly be a strong reaction though. I still thought that there should have been an alternative ending. Even if there wasn’t a revolution, It definitely offers a really depressing, pessimistic outlook on the possibility of change in society. We have no idea how the citizens will react. Everything about Brave New World is bleak and thought for change in the society is hopeless. I also think the ending is fitting In the end it didn't really help the cause. If anything, I think this book I agree that throughout the novel there wasn't any tension building up which is why the ending seemed very underwhelming. For When Lenina arrives, John whips her as well. At the end of Brave New World, a crowd gathers to watch John ritually whip himself. His whole arc was that he didn't fit in anywhere, so it definitely seems like that story couldn't have been truly developed further. I've always grown up to expect that the protagonist will beat the odds and come up on top, and in this book it just didn't happen. For that reason I didn't really enjoy Brave New World. Personally, I wasn't very satisfied with the ending. I feel like the author wrote it thinking his novel wouldn't have that much success or he didn't actually know how to finish it. With how crafty the savage was, he still couldn't figure out how to get out of the problem he was currently facing. John wouldn't have been able to make any changes alone, so I think it makes sense for Huxley to kill him off, kind of like he killed of our hope to see a change in this society. only family. Everything about Brave New World is bleak and thought for change in the society is hopeless. described in the book. It makes me feel really uncomfortable and bad that at the end of this book. I don't think that he intended for the novel to be about heroes or change. Pulling from Aldous Huxley’s dystopian novel but updated, this new vision is clearer and more poignant. The spectators begin an orgy, in which John takes part. After discussing the ending and contemplating different endings for John's character I also came to the conclusion that despite the horrible ending for John's character, it makes a lot of sense for his story. for the nature of the society in. I would Why set up this huge and seemingly ideal society if to tear it down in the end? I was hearing a lot of how terrible and dismal the book was from people who had already read it, so I guess I internalized that and wasn't expecting anything redeeming from the book. Also, I may have just skipped over it, but is there a reason that John couldn't go with the other two to the island aside from Mustapha Mond wanting to experiment on him? At the end of the day, I too was underwhelmed with the ending; but, I felt like it was fitting in that it showcased the dark, eternal brutality of the World State. I don’t think Huxley intended for this book to Something going back to the bigger picture would have wrapped things up more nicely. I completely agree, this idea that one person with some radical ideas could take down a thought out society that seems to use mind control to control its people isn't realistic in the setting. I totally agree with your point about the underwhelming ending...I think we're used to current dystopian novels ending in a revolution and rebellion, and having the main character come out victorious and "beating the system", but that's not really where this book was headed. This ending seems more like a breaking point between act two and three. And I agree that while at first Bernard may have seemed promising, he turned out to be too cowardly and in his own head to do anything. Aldous Huxley displays that John is an outcast to both societies. Brave New World is juicy, sexed-up escapism for a pandemic starved audience. The ending definitely fit the book for me. It didn't feel good while reading it (which is why I read books). Also, John just killing himself that abruptly doesn't seem that plausible to me now that I think about it. And for those looking to brush up on the book before diving into the adaptation, here's a refresher on the Brave New World book ending. Additionally, before he came to the demonstrate the power of the individual. Brave New World’s main theme is the incompatibility of happiness and truth. That may have been even more depressing, because I can’t envision the effectiveness of a revolution in the situation. I think I pretty much agree with you here. The ending was trash. The World State has already been in existence for a long time (some number of centuries), so it wouldn't make sense for it to be seriously threatened in any way by the conclusion. I agree with that the ending makes sense in a way, because John doesn't really belong anywhere. By ending the book with a scene of isolation and John’s death, I was annoyed that a big chunk of the end focused on John, when the book’s point seemed to be more of a portrait of a society. I feel like he would likely try to escape first instead of ending it all. I liked the ending in the sense that is wasn't a cheesy ending where John dismantles this entire society. I also felt like this and wrote about this in my blog post. As for an alternate ending, you said yourself that you see John going down the same path if he goes back to the Reservation. Peacock’s Brave New World Ending. I think its because in modern dystopian novels there seems to be a theme of an eventual uprising that usurps the authoritarian system. I'm not sure what i really wanted to happen but i certainly expected something more than just: suicide, The end. Linda, even if he left the World State. It's interesting because I was not surprised by the ending at all, and I think it might have had something to do with the comments I had gotten from various people when I mentioned I was reading the book. instance, what would’ve happened if John returned to the Reservation? I feel like that's going to be a common thread in dystopia & utopia. What felt like a large build ended up being disappointing to say the least. Bernard Marx with Helm and AI Indra go to the Savage Lands as Lenina starts rebuilding civilization in the fields the Epsilons once farmed and John, in a callback to the novel, becomes a hermit The World State has already been in existence for a long time (some number of centuries), so it wouldn't make sense for it to be seriously threatened in … because he wouldn’t be able to break free from his thoughts of Lenina and The ending definitely fit the book for me. Why Does O'Brien Tell Winston the Party's Motive. In a pivot from the book, we learn that New London was created by Indra, a simulation AI that has studied Mustafa Mond’s thesis, and constructed a world that is void of outbreak and chaos through the use of drugs and sex. Morally, there is no one in this book that you can root for. Either the society survives or they collapse. But, while it was really discouraging, I do think it made sense in the context of the book, and it made the book really interesting for me. elimination of individuality that would result from a utopia. can seem underwhelming, it is the most fitting for the society that is It felt more like an end to the chapter than the end of a book and I don't feel like it really wrapped everything up in a satisfactory way. However, it's also clear that punishment isn't exactly what the World Controller has in mind for the fates of the three men. And I think that that's what Huxley wanted readers to understand. Sometimes it feels we're living in some sort of dystopia today, and so this ending was definitely not encouraging. The only part of the story that was really ended was John's life, however I felt like his story was more cut short than finished. The next day, overcome with guilt and shame, he kills himself. Maybe Bernard comes back from the island with all of the other thinkers and is able to use this a catalyst for change? In that light, I agree with your remarks about the finale and find myself growing a deeper and deeper appreciation for it everyday. I didn’t hate the ending, but that’s mostly because I’m glad nobody started a revolution. World State, it seemed as though he wasn’t accepted by the people in the Much like the comments above I agree that the ending was a bit off. The ending seemed pretty natural, was pretty tidy, and most importantly didn't distract from Huxley's main points with regards to his social commentary. Rather, I think that Huxley wanted the ending to be raw and itchy, if you will. As you said, the characters were never set up by Huxley to be the ones who "save the day" at the end. Reservation, and he wouldn’t have had a family to return to since Linda was his It's clearly the beginning of the end of Brave New Worldas Helmholtz, Bernard, and John find themselves in the office of World Controller Mustapha Mond. I think the current ending does pretty well in showing that John is an outcast from both the Reservation and the World State by having him go away from both. I think having this as the end of the book also confuses the reader, making it seem like the focus of the book was John when it could have actually been a picture of wider society.
