Romance

"'He's terribly good-looking. No need for him to be shy like Bernard. And yet...any other man would have done it long ago.'" Page 170

It seems as though a romance is springing up. We have known that John has feelings for Lenina. Now, though, we see that maybe she likes him back...and more than she should. John grew up learning of love and monogomy.  Lenina, however, grew up conditioned not to love at all. Yet we see that she notices something in John unlike that of any other man. Perhaps this is yet another way John's presence can rock the stability of society, by making Lenina love him.
