The story's protagonist, Bernard is different from most people in that he values his individuality and personality. He is discontent with the world he lives in and likes spending time alone just to think or looking at the stars (such behaviors are outlawed). At one point Bernard brings a woman he desires (Lenina) to a savage reservation where he discovers John (the Savage), son of Linda who had visited the reservation more than 20 years previously and was accidentally left behind. When she discovered she was pregnant (the ultimate shame), she decides she has no choice but to remain among the savages. John returns to the real world with Bernard where he is coveted as the Visiting Savage. Eventually however, he cannot come to accept the values of this different society and ultimately ends his own life.
By the end of this story, the reader can see that Huxley has illustrated a world where every citizen is provided for. Not just a person's basic needs no; the World State has gone through the exasperating measures to make sure that as a citizen one is given everything and anything they could possibly desire. This is exemplified consistently as we are shown that the citizens seem to not know how to reach beyond their current position within this new world order and not seem to care about it either. Epsilons picking up trash for a living and feeling ultimately satisfied by what they are doing for example. This eliminates many of the problems one would find typical of human resource management, such as the Designing and Analysis of Jobs. Since every citizen is ultimately programmed to love what they do as long as it matches their class. In this situation, people seem to be analyzed and designed for jobs rather than the jobs being designed for the people. Also the fact that everything is provided for the citizens leaves them not knowing what it means to long for something they cannot have.
