Characters Protagonist: Bernard Marx “I am I, and I wish I weren’t.”(Huxley 35) Antagonist: Lenina Crowne “How can you talk about not wanting to be part of the social body?…We can’t do without anyone!” (Huxley 91) Protagonist: John (The Savage) “ ‘O brave new world with such people in’t!’ It was a challenge, a command.” (Huxley 216) “I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness, I want sin…I’m claiming the right to be unhappy.” (Huxley 246) Antagonist: Mustapha Mond “But that’s the price of stability. You’ve got to choose between happiness… and high art.” (Huxley 226) “Sometimes, I rather regret the science-happiness is a hard master.” (Huxley 233)

Setting London, England A.F. 623 A.F. stands for “After Ford,” the number of years after he started the assembly line.
