Brave New World Chapter 4

Part 1
1. What puzzles Lenina about Bernard Marx's behavior?

The fact that he seems uncomfortable confuses her, as in this world it is commonplace to discuss their relationships in public, whereas Bernard feels uncomfortable doing this, as he is different than the normal person in that world, and in many ways is more like us.

2. Please provide examples of Lenina using what she learned from hypnopaedia.

Lenina uses various examples of her hypnopaedia "learning" throughout this chapter. On page 63 Lenina says "My word, I'm glad I'm not gamma." which was driven into her through hypnopaedia, and earlier on page 62 says "What a hideous color khaki is." which is the color of Deltas and another and demonstrates further evidence of hypnopaedia.

3. Where are Lenina and Henry going?

They are going to Stoke Poges, an obstacle golf course.

Part 2:
