John seeks happiness in the new world society because his environment at the savage reservation lacks happiness. He also seeks happiness because he is an outcast in the savage reservation because his appearance is different than the rest of the savages because his mother and father were from the new world. He is not welcomed by the other savages and experiences physical and emotional abuse from the savages. His journey leads him to the new world where he quickly finds out that he is not welcomed due to his radical views and criticisms of society in the new world. John ends up becoming so angry with the new world that he creates a commotion in front of the civilians and ends up physically beating himself and eventually commits suicide. John never fulfills his journey because he "claims the right to be unhappy" when he speaks with Mustapha Mond before his death. (Huxley, Page 240).

Bernard like John, seeks happiness due to the lack of happiness in his environment in the new world. Bernard is considered a misfit in the new world because of his physical differences from the other Alphas. He also has a different perspective on the new world society and how it functions. He criticizes the way that people live and the leaders of the new world. Bernard seeks happiness by exploring the savage reservation environment where he meets John. However, Bernard never is able to find happiness at the reservation and makes a journey back to the new world but with John with him. Towards the end of the novel Bernard is asked to either change his views about the new world society or to be exiled to an island where people go if they are radical. Bernard in the end goes to the island to perhaps seek happiness one day.
