Lenina is obsessed with John. She goes to visit John and try to seduce him. He declares his love for her by stating some passages from Shakespeare. When he talks about marriage she doesn’t get it because in the World State there’s no such thing as commitment. Intending to seduce John she removes all her clothes and is completely naked that makes John mad. This shows that John is not like all the other guys in the World State.
