John struggles to keep his mind free of Lenina despite being alone, and he starts to punish himself when his mind goes astray. He begins to whip himself repeatedly to rid himself of the contamination he has been exposed to. By whipping himself, John is desperately trying to hold on to his values, yet when citizens of the World State discover his actions, he is turned into the community’s joke.

One night, however, Lenina makes an appearance in a crowd of chanting visitors, offering John his greatest temptation. John, being caught up in the night’s action, shatters all of his hard work and gives into his temptations. Lenina is too much of a enticement for him, and his resolve to resist her fades away when an orgy breaks out in his yard. The next morning John wakes up to guilt and shame. He lets the corruption of the new world’s society overtake
