Brave New World / Aldous Huxley / chapter 9 and 10

“A public example,” he was saying. “In this room, because it contains more high-caste workers than any other in the centre,” (Huxley 147).  The director is going to publicly shame Bernard.  Bernard however ends up shaming the director instead.  Before leaving Bernard is worried about being sent to Iceland as a punishment for his unorthodox behavior.  I believe this is his motivation for bringing Linda and John back to London.  He portrayed his actions as merely be for a scientific look at his reaction to civilization but it is pretty obvious he has ulterior motives.  John seems very eager to leave his home on the reservation.  John is as eager to leave as Bernard was to come.  It is very much like the idea that the grass is greener on the other side.  Linda seems to have in a way been affected the savages because she seems to care very much for the director.  All the people in the factory have the same reaction to Linda’s ugliness al Lenina had. It is also interesting how much of revulsion they have to the words father and mother.  But they have and stronger reaction to mother that they seem to father.
