* What is the climax of this novel? What happens? How do the events of this novel make you feel?
I think there were a few climaxes in the story that built up as one climax, which was the explosion of John’s feelings toward the brave new world. To describe the conflict throughout the story, he struggled with the society and people of the new world. At first, he was curious at them and thought they were cool with the whole new technologies. However, as time passed on, he started to feel sad toward their apathetic attitudes. Thus, he felt a strong sense of need to rebel against their laws and enlightened people to pursue real freedom.
The first climax started when John was irritated by Delta kids who were getting trainings for death. They kept asking if Linda were dead or not. John, annoyed by their indifference toward one’s death and emotionless attitudes, chided them to get out. Because the Delta kids did not do what John asked them to do, John finally stood up. When someone was distributing the somas, John took the somas and trashed them. He explained that the somas are the drugs that make you physically and mentally ill. However, Delta kids did not what he was talking about, which they got angry at him. To analyze this part of the story, this was John’s first time to actually rebel against the people. He was eager to enlighten people but he could not. This event ensured readers that he had this strong and indomitable will that he will enlighten the new world.
The second climax was when John talked to Mustapha Mond, one of the ten world controllers. They had a conversation about literatures, arts, religions, and other things that these people did not have. From the conversation, Mustapha Mond concluded that in order to pursue happiness, people have to give up them. However, John thought it was better to feel unhappy and have them. Throughout this dialogue, which was his second action, he showed his strong feelings toward literatures especially Shakespears, arts, and religions. This made him to leave the new world.
The third climax was when John whipped Lenina when she came to see him at the lighthouse. Although Lenina tried to understand him as much as she could, John’s thought, which was people living here are all emotionless, did not change. Even though he tried to refresh people, he could not endure his deep sorrow toward these apathetic people. Eventually, he hanged himself.

I thought his actions were all significant that they should be considered as climaxes that built up the solutions for the conflict. It was sort of sad for me that he committed suicide even though he tried his best.

I don't know about the other climaxes but I am sure about the third and I agree with what you have wrote as the climax.
You asked "Why would John kill the women he loved?" I doesn't to be seen that John has killed the women he loved, but what I think that the author was trying to show was the frenzy, madness, and the change of John, not his murder on his lover.(I'm not sure)
