"Opening her eyes, she had seen his face--no, not his face, a ferocious stranger's, pale, distorted, twitching with some insane, inexplicable fury." -pg. 194
This part of the book kind of confuses me. While I understand John wants to prove himself worthy before he has Lenina, he gets scarily angry with her. Moments before this, he was saying how much he loved her and how much he wanted her. Yet a few minutes later, he gets angry and slaps her away. This shows the difference between characters in London and characters at Hailsham. In Hailsham, love is still existant and happens between many couples. In London, love is nonexistant, and everyone just sleeps around. John's unfamiliarness to this really shows in his anger. He also repeatedly calls Lenina a whore. I predict they will both go into depression and sadness after what happened.
