Document Summary
The savage reservation introduced in chapter seven of brave new world (1932) by. Aldous huxley is a society almost entirely opposite from the hatchery in london. It is home to the people who are not decanted and who do not hold any meaning to the name ford. their foreign concepts of love, family, and monogamy disgust those who live in the hatchery. The way that the civilized people react to the savage reservation is not surprising; it is natural. To explain, when we encounter something unfamiliar, we often look down upon it because we believe our way is correct. She is always content because she takes soma pills, a drug, while these people appear to suffer because they must deal with their pain on their own. She is not accepting of the new culture, praising her own by saying cleanliness is next to fordliness " (huxley 110). Likewise, the people in the reservation are not fond of outsiders.
