Brave New World Ch. 6 Analysis

  • Bernard shows some assertion towards Lenina 
    • "I'd rather be myself...myself and nasty. Not somebody else, however jolly" - reaction towards Lenina offering soma
  • When Bernard and Lenina are hovering above the sea, Bernard says he doesn't feel as if he is "just a cell in the social body"
    • Contrary to Lenina, Bernard has natural feelings for himself (matches with the natural environment vs. being at obstacle golf or other artificial places where he couldn't really express himself)
  • "the most frightful thunderstorm I've ever seen was just bursting on us" - sets the tone for a bad event (Director's anecdote)
  • "The director's threats had actually elated him, made him feel larger than life." (when Bernard talked to the Director)
