1979 Choose a complex and important character in a novel or a play of
recognized literary merit who might, on the basis of the character’s actions alone,
be considered evil or immoral. In a well-organized essay, explain both how and
why the full presentation of the character in the work makes us react more
sympathetically than we otherwise might. Avoid plot summary.
Immoral: not conforming to accepted standards
Both Bernard and John the Savage. The latter more extreme
and vocal about it.
John: throws out all the soma, mourns over mothers death,
disgusted by the “twins, repulsed by Lenina’s sexual advances
Lit Techniques: indirect characterization, allusions,
juxtaposition
