The Only Character With any Sense

"With an infinity of quite unnecessary precautions-for nothing short of a pistol shot could have called Lenina back from her soma holiday before the appointed time- he entered the room, he knelt on the floor beside the bed." pg 144

The savage, quite contrastingly, is the character most resembling modern society. He has morals and values, where everyone else in the story does not. They find him a fascination, an oddity, when the reader is supposed to see him as the only character they can really relate to. He is afraid to approach Lenina as she sleeps and finds himself unworthy of her, while other men in the story openly flirt with her. To the reader, the savage is no savage at all. This irony plays a role in allowing the reader to sympathize with this character and relate to him as oppose to any other character in the story. Bernard plans to bring the savage into his society, which will be a great culture shock to the savage. Most of what they do, the savage will find immoral and horrible, while the society looks at him in the same light.
