The women in the savage reservation whip Linda because she is having sex with their husbands. Linda, however, does not see her faults because she was conditioned by the World State to think that "everybody belongs to everybody else."
The women whip Linda as part of a ritualistic ceremony called the Voodoo Banquette in Aldous Huxley's novel "Brave New World." This act symbolizes the group's sense of solidarity, shared emotions, and collective identity. It reflects the society's values of conformity and submission to authority.
In "Brave New World," Linda is whipped by the women because she is seen as an outsider who disrupts their societal norms. She is ostracized for not conforming to their standard of behavior and for her promiscuity, which goes against the strict rules of the World State.
