Christ-like?

"From time to time he stretched out his arms as though he were on the Cross..." Pg. 244

     Ever since his decision not to pursue Lenina sexually and stick to his morals, John has taken on an uncanny disposition similar to Christ. In fact, this was probably propelled by his debate with Mr. Mond on the essentiality of God in a stabile world. Later on, John decides to whip himself, drawing a spectacle of reporters. All the attention was unwanted and unwarranted. I drew parallels to Christ in the Temple when he went on his hopital rampage. After his talk with Mr. Mond, he was essentially marginalized and left to live simply off the earth and the land. The only disparateness occurs the night before he dies. He sins against his own personal standards due to the influence of society.
