Brave New World 20

"Through an archway on the further side of the room they could see the bottom of the staircase that led up to the higher floors. Just under the crown of the arch dangled a pair of feet." -pg. 259

Wait, John killed himself? While I could've seen this coming, it still surprises me. Not really surprises me, though, as much as bothers me. What bothers me the most is the irony of this whole world and the whole situation. This so-called world of happiness had made John so unhappy that he would kill himself. Isn't that contrary to the whole point of this world? Even though it was only one person, it should make an impact. While the book made me think about lots of things, I hate the way it ended. It left me with no answers. I'm the type of person who needs definite answers to a school-related question. Even though the purpose was probably to leave questions in your mind, I don't like that purpose.
