- ... His talent is illustrated when he turns his eye to the Carpenter's wife and makes love with her. The situation is very similar to "The Reeve's Tale." In that tale the Miller lets John and Alan, two scholars, who lost their horse from the Miller's own doing, stay at his house. However, since the two boys are "Headstrong
and eager for a joke" (110), Alan proceeds to rape the Miller's daughter, while John sleeps with the Miller's wife. It is apparent that these situations are very similar, in that the scholars are having adulterous sexual intercourse with both the Carpenter's and the Miller's wives.

- 1045: A Review of Huxley's Brave New World
- ... unempathetic and intellectually uninteresting well- being. Apparently, taking soma doesn't give Bernard Marx, the disaffected sleep-learning specialist, more than a cheap thrill. Nor does it make him happy with his station in life. John the Savage commits suicide soon after taking soma [guilt and despair born of serotonin depletion!?]. The drug is said to be better than (promiscuous) sex - the only sex the brave new worlders practise. But a ... be happy for a reason: unlike people, a good drug will never let you down. True, soma-consumption doesn't actively promote anti-social behaviour. Yet the drug is all about instant gratification. Drug-naive John the Savage, by contrast, has a firm code of conduct. His happiness - and sorrow - don't derive from taking a soul-corrupting chemical. It is based on reasons - though these reasons themselves presumably have a ... been eradicated. That's one reason its citizens' behaviour is so shocking. BNW's positive immorality is all too conceivable by the reader. Typically, we are indignant when we see the callous way in which John the Savage is treated, or when we witness the revulsion provoked in the Director by the sight of his own physically ageing mother. Above and beyond this, all sorts of sour undercurrents are endemic ...
