Lenina Crowne
She is a vaccination worker at the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre. She is an object of desire for a number of characters, including Bernard Marx and John. Her behavior is sometimes not normal or unorthodox, which makes her attractive. For example, she defies her culture’s conventions by dating one man exclusively for several months, she is attracted to Bernard the misfit and she develops a violent passion for John the Savage. Ultimately, her values are those of a conventional World State citizen. Her primary means of relating to other people is through sex, and she is unable to share Bernard’s disaffection or to understand John’s alternate values.
