The words father and mother were like a forgotten language to the kids. There was no need to call any male or female their parents because the advance made them used of technologies. Father and mother was alienated to them. It talks about how their society is built up. People have neither individuality nor sexual boundaries.

In the end Bernard had to slink back, diminished, to his rooms and inform the impatient assembly that the Savage would not be appearing that eveningThe men were furious at having been tricked into behaving politely to this insignificant fellow with the unsavory reputation and the heretical opinions. But its absurd to let yourself get into a state like this. Simply absurd, she repeated And what about? A manone man. But hes the one I want.

No matter how hard Bernard tries to fit in, hes never accepted in the society. People are acknowledged that hes there, but theres no respect for him. While others have relationships with friends and family, Bernard has a relationship to himself.

God is being compared to something so called much realer, science. Mond does not think God is compatible with machines, arts, technologies, and science. The Savage is so desperate that hes asking God to save him because he was brainwashed by the perfect world that he lived in. This was the end for John. He finally joins the crowd and loses his individualism. He no longer stands alone , but becomes a member of the society of everything he despises. He couldnt deal with it anymore, and so he killed himself thinking it was a possible solution. It relates to the real world, because in our society many people believes suicide would answer everything when you cant stand living in a world that you loathes so much about.
