I would like to use some of this passage...
"I say," Helmholtz exclaimed solicitously, "you
do look ill, John!" "Did you eat something that
didn't agree with you?" asked Bernard. The
Savage nodded. "I ate civilization." "What?"
"It poisoned me I was defiled. And then," he
added, in a lower tone, "I ate my own
wickedness." "Yes, but what exactly? I mean,
just now you were " "Now I am purified," said
the Savage. "I drank some mustard and warm
water." Page 220

The Savage nodded. "I ate civilization." "What?"
"It poisoned me I was defiled. And then," he
added, in a lower tone, "I ate my own
wickedness."
The motif of consumption is not only used
literally in the novel, but also figuratively.
After his final conversation with Mustafa Mond,
John is questioned by Helmoltz and Bernard. In
response to their questions John explains he ate
civilization (220) and feels defiled (220)
because of his own wickedness (220).

...without money or belongings. The overall tone
of the novel supports the Victorian emphasis on
propriety and careful, prudent behaviour,
particularly as it applies to male/female
relationships. A second aspect of Victorian
literature, respect for the family, is obvious in
several instances. First, on the night of Janes
return from her visit to Gateshead...

Brontë makes a strong case for the contentment of
a loving family which, in contrast to the Reed
household, accepts and nurtures its individual
members. Another worthy theme, the workings of
justice, a subject which profoundly influenced
Charles Dickens and George Eliot, also colours
Brontës philosophy.

Character, after all, is shaped by suffering, and
the new world state has abolished suffering in
favor of a continuous, soma-stupefied, infantile
happiness. In such an environment it is
difficult to have characters who grow and develop
and are alive. Despite all this, it is
surprising and noteworthy how alive and even
varied Huxleys characters are.
