People think that John's suicide was positive and enlightened. Some also think that it is a sign of feebleness. Explain each of these...

In Julius Caesar, after they realize
that they are defeated and will be captured and humiliated, in Roman fashion Brutus and
Cassius each have their servants hold their swords while they run themselves upon them. 
Such a death is considered nobler by the Romans.  Such is also the case with the "noble
savage," John, well-read in the works of Shakespeare, and who literally lives
Shakespeare as a means of creating a reality for himself (in his last converstaion with
Mustapha Mond, John uses Hamlet's words).  For, he, too, realizes that he has been
defeated in his attempt at escape since it is really just another experiment for
Mustapha Mond.  So, rather than be an exhibit for the residents of the New World and be
humiliated as though he is part of a circus entertainment, John takes his exit from the
his defilement with Lena and the tragedy that has become his life.  His act is not an
act of weakness.  Were he weak, he could just take soma and live
out his life in a lifeless state.  Or, he could surrender to Mond and the state of the
New World and conform. Instead, he wreaks his final act of penance for succumbing to his
physical urges after the woman resembling Lena arrives out of a helicopter and the
ensuing orgy from which he awakens:  "Oh, my God! my God!"
