John and Lenina

"I love you more than anything in the world." (page 192)

I wrote about Lenina and John's relationship in a previous blog and my thoughts are still similar. I knew something would get in the way of their relationship. I wasn't sure if it would be Lenina's conditioned ways of John's uncivilized upbringing; it turned out to be a little bit of both. John wanted to marry Lenina - the love of his life. Lenina had no idea what the point of love and marriage was; she just knew she liked John. As of right now, I think the 2 are far too different to be together. John may have overreacted with all of the name calling, but it was basically true. However, I can understand that Lenina saw nothing wrong because of her culture.
