John Vs. Society In Brave New World

In Brave New World, there is an ongoing conflict between John and society, specifically with the people who believe in the status quo. John begins to disgust the “civilized” society as Bernard shows him around London and he sees it as an unnatural place and a world of false happiness. He also despises how addicted his mother becomes to soma, taking so much soma that it deteriorates her health and, eventually, she dies in a state of delusion. At the point of his mother's death John begins to further hate society for the way they treat the dead, just throwing them to the side and not burying them, but burning them. He comes into conflict with a pack of identical twins who made fun of him for being upset after Linda’s death. He even hit a couple.
