This is probably when there is going to be more of a downhill of events occurring. But once he meets John everything changes because now he had something against the Director so he is not sent to iceland. He feels like everyone is so brainwashed in the way things are designed in World State, that no one will ever see what he see’s and he will always be the outcast. Because all this time Bernard has felt lost in this society. The moment John and Bernard met in the story is probably the climax of the book. Just how Bernard lives, some what frustrated in his society and the way everything is handled. The famous Karl Marx always struggles in accepting this way of society lived around him. In this society you are pretty much marked by the class you are chosen to be in. Then they have the superior class like the Betas and Alphas. Where some are less than others, they work more and get less. Karl Max’s theory of class struggle, is similar to the classes they have in this society. But i was thinking that Huxley name Bernard Marx with a purpose to kind of relate to the famous philosopher Karl Max, who was a big sociolist. I am not sure how off i can be in my comparison. Posted in 'Brave New World' (chapters 6-9) | Leave a reply Brave New World 6-9 Finally these chapters were less confusing for me then the previous ones, and now I am already waiting to find out what Bernard is planning towards Director. In the beginning I didn’t like the book, but these chapters made it more interesting. This seems like some sort of a payback to Director, by Bernard for telling that he might be moved to Iceland. It seems like no one ever knew that Director might have a son (John). In chapter 9, Bernard wants John and Linda to come back to London. In addition, she were acting like a person from World State, because she was sleeping with other man. For me this proofs, that she is the woman, that went on a trip with Director twenty-five years ago. That would have been too shameful” (Huxley 119). She is the woman that got lost, and we can find that out by these words “Having young ones like an animal … If it hadn’t been for you, I might have gone to the Inspector, I might have got away. This leads us to a story that Director told Bernard. He went with a women, which got lost.Īs we read in the next chapters, we can find another conflict of the book, when Bernard and Linda meet a white man, and he explains that his mother ,Linda wasn’t from the reservation. Bernard talks to a Director, about traveling to Mexico, and Director tells a story that happen about twenty-five years ago, when he was at similar age as Bernard, and went to same place. There is one more important situation that takes place in this chapter. Bernard in my opinion seems to think in a similar way to us, while Lenina is living her “proper” life. This shows the difference between the way both of them think. She didn’t like that idea, because for her it was incomprehensible, and “… that seemed a very odd way of spending an afternoon” (Huxley 89). He wanted to spent time walking and talking, in a place away from others. In chapter 6 we can find out a lot about difference between Bernard and Lenina, when they go out on a date. They all meet at New Mexican Reservation, where most of the action takes place. Bernard, Lenina, John and Linda (John’s mother). There are few important characters in these chapters. In my opinion these chapters were way more interesting then the previous ones.Throughout them there is a lot of action, but it is straightforward, which makes the book more enjoyable.
