Mustapha Mond: Mustapha Mond is the World Controller for Western Europe, one of ten World Controllers. Reporters find him, and this is the final event of the novel. Despairing, having lost all his ideals and hope, he hangs himself. But even this turns him into a public figure when two workers record him whipping himself in atonement. He flees to an abandoned lighthouse with the hopes of starting over, creating his own self-made, independent, and organic society. When his mother, Linda, dies, he causes a riot in the Hospital for the Dying and is arrested. Lenina comes on to him several times, but although he finds her beautiful, almost to the point of obsession, he violently rejects her because he finds her to be a manifestation of the new civilization he despises. Bernard uses his illegitimate status to embarrass the Director. He becomes a curiosity in London, after traveling back with Bernard and Lenina. He is the illegitimate son of Linda, a Beta (second) class woman who was impregnated twenty-five years ago by the Director (Tomakin), and then disappeared and brought up in the Reservation. The Savage (John): We first meet John when Bernard and Lenina go to the Savage Reservation. Eventually, the World Controller Mustapha Mond deports Bernard Marx and his friend Helmholtz Watson to an island for other unorthodox figures, removing their threatening ideas from the ideal society.
He becomes very popular upon the introduction of the Savage, but his popularity dies down and he is back where he started when the Savage refuses to show himself off at a meeting and then causes a riot at the Hospital for the Dying. He connects with the illegitimate son of the Director, John, (later the Savage), and arranges for John’s transport back to London, where he uses his presence to humiliate the Director. Despite his inadequacies, he is intriguing to Lenina, who travels with him to the Savage Reservation. He voices thoughts that go against the governmental conditioning, such as the beauty of the ocean and the moon, the idea of monogamy (only one sexual partner), and the desire to be alone. Although he is an Alpha, he is shorter and thinner than the typical male of his social status, and some say he was incorrectly exposed to alcohol while being decanted at the Central London Hatcheries and Conditioning Centre. He has a crushing sense of inferiority due to his physical condition. He is the only upper-caste member in the book besides Helmholtz Watson who voices disapproval and bitterness toward society.
He is of the top social caste, an Alpha Plus Intellectual. He works for the Psychology Department of the Central London Hatcheries and Conditioning Centre.
