John refuses so let Lenina talk him into having sex with him. He attempts to slap her cause he feels it is wrong to do that. In a way the slapping part is apart of his culture because he sees her as a out of line with what his culture would believe. Lenina is left completely shocked because that is to weird for her culture. I think their to different people and they would not get along because they believe in two different things so it just would not work.
Bernard is holding a party with important society people to show john off. John decides not to leave his room and the guest leave and leave Bernard humiliated. Bernard deserves to be humiliated because he was just using John to show him off. Bernard has had a big head and thought he was so popular and he gets knocked off his high horse and so he deserves it.
I feel like this world is lame and twisted. In comparison to this world and now I feel like they're born to only fulfill the purpose of the group rather than being able to decide for themselves what kind of person they want to be and what purpose you choose in life. They are programmed everyday to be what ever the cast system tells them what they have to be. If our country was taken over by a dictator that decided to clone people into classes, could this happen?
This society has a view of religion and history is as dangerous. The society feels that history will corrupt the people because they give them a sense of time outside of their lifetimes. The people cant think about progressing through time because that can cause a social commotion. The controller has blamed Christianity for promoting having babies the natural way. His way was to grow them outside of bodies. I think that him trying to get rid of history and the progression of time is stupid. It gets rid of the sense of someone being born as special to their parents and he wants them growing as a group instead of progressing individually.
Bernard is not fitting in very well at the solidarity meeting, He doesn't like to play any of the games the others played. He doesn't like participating in this unified group, So he has to pretend to be caught up in the ceremony. Here is another example of him being different and expressing his own individuality but he is forced to not if he is going to fit in.
Bernard brings John and Linda back to the new world, i feel that he does that to black mail the director and not go to Iceland. Bernard can care less about them but mostly cares about himself. They wont fit into this new world because their culture was so different, they are not going to fit in to this new world. I feel this is not fair to them.
I feel like this is messed up! Human being should not be made out of embryos in a warm solution. They are making Human beings in different classes with the embryos. That puts them into different classes of intelligence and ability. I don't like It because individuals cant choose their own life. |
