Brave New World: The End with Imagery

"Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right; north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west; then paused, and , after a few seconds, turned as unhurriedly back towards the left.  South-south-west, south, south-east, east...."  pg. 259

Disturbing.  That's my description of the ending.  John is so conflicted by the World State that he must purge himself of everything.  He whipped himself to the point of puking and even threw himself in thorn bushes.  The ways of the World State drove him insane.  He was mad to the point of attacking people if they approached him.  Then, last by not least he killed himself.  Huxley made his death quite disturbing.  He did not simply say that John hung himself; he used very descriptive words to describe exactly how he died, creating a gruesome image in my head.  Imagery is great and all, but I think I could have done without so much detail.  I get it; I don't need to know every direction his feet turn before he finally stopped moving.  It kind of creeped me out.
