The Impudent Strumpet

"'Go,' he shouted, standing over her menacingly, 'get out of my sight or I'll kill you.'" Page 194

It has become apparent that the worlds cannot meet in the middle. John, hard as he tried, could not change Lenina. Lenina, hard as she tried, could not have John. Her drugged up visit to him only made matters much much worse than they were before. John is now furious with Lenina, and discovers that his "Brave New World" is perhaps not what he wanted. Perhaps it isn't the paradise his mother Linda made it out to be.
