Absent comprehensive conditioning, John Savage relies on his encyclopedic memorization of all of Shakespeare to supply analogies with which to evaluate new and unknown situations which he encounters. [This leads to reflection on the role of grammar-level, rote memorization for support of higher studies—in the medieval monastery, the monks would repeatedly read sections of texts, “ruminating” upon them like ruminant animals “chewing the cud”, until they were able to draw upon the internalized knowledge during discourse.]
John Savage is exceptional in not being a test-tube baby. His responses are not due to programmed, totalitarian behavioral conditioning as are those of all the other characters in the video (except, provisionally, the young Alpha Plus (A+) Bernard Marx, prone to heretical ideas, who is being groomed for a Directorship by His Fordship, Mustapha Mond, whose supreme status is signified by a “T” character, after the Ford Model-T, in addition to his A+ insignia).
