“But cleanliness is next to fordliness,” she insisted. “Yes, and civilization is sterilization,” (Huxley 110). Bernard seems to be more interested in the reservation than Lenina. She immediately thinks of how dirty the place is and cannot seem to focus on anything else. Lenina finds everything the savages do to be very offensive. She cannot seem to rap her mind around what they are doing. It is interesting to read about the characters repulsiveness to a life style that is somewhat similar to ours only more primitive. We have had history lessons and parts of the world still are similar to the reservation but Lenina has nothing to compare it too. Bernard is also repulsed by the conditions but he seems to still be interested in how they think and live. Linda’s life since she was left in the reservation has gone extremely wrong. Her ideas completely clash with their society. She try’s to live like she did but they then reject her and scorn her for it.
