"'In fact,' said Mustapha Mond, 'you're claiming the right to be unhappy." Page 240
The title of this book is entirely relevant to its outcome. At the beginning of the book, Bernard and Helmholtz are themselves searching for a new world to live and develop in. When Bernard and Lenina go to the Indian Reservation, they are travelling into a new world. John, on his trip to London, is on his way to a new world. Even up to the end, when John commits suicide, he is yet travelling again to a Brave New World. Yet in the end, despite John's tragic end, one must wonder who was truly happier. John felt human emotions and lived through human experiences. Although his life was shorter, he knew more of happiness than most people ever would.
