Learning [in a] Brave New World

In the end of the book Brave New World John the savage can't seem to live the life everyone seems to. John takes the path that cannot be used by anyone else-- death. John hangs himself and he has come to realize that even as he punishes himself or does anything to atone for what he believes are less than human or less than noble actions become co-opted by the mass culture, converting his real and meaningful angst into entertainment. He even gets caught up in the orgy through the mass pressure, his anger and frustration.
