This chapter here is important for a number of reasons. The theme of ‘love’ is explored in this chapter in greater detail than anywhere else in the book. John’s society is like our society, where monogamy, romance, and love are all prevalent and they are normal and morally acceptable, and we are already well acquainted with the views held by Lenina’s society, or those that are ‘civilised’, on love and romance. In this chapter it is interesting to see Lenina’s pining to “have” John, her emotionally disturbed state, her avoidance of going out with Henry Foster, and especially her firm belief that no matter how many men she “has” she will always like, or want John. Interestingly when thought of in our context, this sort of behaviour is indicative of a deep love, of real emotion, and while Lenina isn’t capable of this, and in fact is still revolted by notions of romantic love, we see that as a whole love is replaced with lust in this “Brave new world.” The contrast between love and lust is highlighted not only in the dialogue shared between Lenina and John (his poetic outbursts most notably) but also that to a larger degree they themselves can be seen as physical manifestations or representations of the love that is from their own society. Lenina’s ‘love’ is in fact lust, while John’s is more akin to what we feel, a deeper emotion, a connection, that is often resultant in the union of two individuals. This chapter is also important as it shows that John is still the incorruptible savage that was mentioned in a previous annotation and has maintained the concept of a ‘noble savage’(refer to Jean-Jacques Rousseau), a trait which he almost carries to the end of this book.
