How would you psycho-analyze John the Savage in Brave New World by Aldous Huxley?

Dystopian literature often depicts a single character who is a symbol of "the past," the old world that has been swept away and has been replaced by the anti-utopian world of the present. John, "the Savage," is the one who fulfills this role in Huxley's Brave New World. He is a kind of rough idealist, a young man with an anomalous self-education (from reading Shakespeare) who utters the ironic eponymous quote from The Tempest in anticipation of the modern society he has not yet fully encountered. Once he's exposed to this dehumanized world, his reaction is one of shocked disillusionment. He's similar to an innocent but precocious and sensitive child thrust into the mature world, except that, in this case, that world is an atrocity, a projection 600 years into the future of what Huxley considered the worst trends of his own time.
Like a naive boy meeting reality for the first time, John lashes out at Lenina with quotes from Othello's diatribe against Desdemona for her alleged infidelity. This, like the novel as a whole, has something comical about it. Unlike Yevgeny Zamyatin in We (which predates Brave New World by about a decade) and George Orwell in 1984 a decade and a half later, Huxley's dystopian prediction is partly intended as amusing. But "the Savage" becomes a tragic figure, unable to deal with the implications of this futuristic world, which is essentially Huxley's—and our own—world in an exaggerated and fully dehumanized form.
