"Whore!... Damned whore!... Go... get out of my sight or I'll kill you." (John, BNW, page 194)
Wow, John! Tell us how you really feel! I have to admit, I was pretty shocked to read that line. I had hoped that he would deny Lenina's advances, but this was beyond my expectations. Now I think I was more right than ever with regards to John and Bernard. If you can resist Lenina, you can be a good person, maybe change the world! Something I thought was interesting was how Huxley has developed such in-depth personalities. It's like they're real people almost. "'Damned whore!' 'A gra-amme is be-etter...'" The subtle injections of her past are what really make this book interesting.
