Let's start a riot, a riot

"'Yes,' Mustapha Mond was saying, 'that's another item in the cost of stability. It isn't only art that's incompatible with happiness; it's also science. Science is dangerous; we have to keep it most carefully chained and muzzled.'" p.225

In the riot, John again refuses to conform. He also turns to violence and lashes out, again. This pattern of violence shows that John is not an ideal and flawless protagonist, but I think still the "good guy" in this situation. After all, he is fighting a terrible establishment, probably not in the ideal way, but he is trying to do what he thinks is right. I also liked that Mond acknowledged some short comings of the utopian society. Sacrifices must be made in order to maintain a level of stability. Art, happiness, and science are the things he states. But, I think individuality and life in general is also conceded to make society perfect. Also, "science chained", really? I think genetical engineering is taking science off the leash.
