Brave New World Chapter 6

Part I
1. Why does Lenina think Bernard Marx "odd" - please use specific references from this chapter in your answer.

She is surprised that Bernard thinks "Electro-magnetic Golf was a waste of time". Secondly she does not know why he just wants to be alone with her and not even talk to her friends.

2. Please provide more lines from Lenina that she learned from hypnopedia (there are some great ones in this chapter!). Do any of them remind you of sayings that we may use?

"A gramme is always better than a damn"

3. What is Fanny's explanation for Bernard's behavior?

That alcohol is effecting him.


Part II

4. What did the Director tell Bernard about his own trip to the Reservation? Why did it initially make Bernard feel uncomfortable?

The director lost the girl and could not find her. This mad Bernard feel uncomfortable because he the director could not disprove it.

5. What does the Director threaten Bernard with if he doesn't change his behavior? Why does it elate Bernard?

To a different center but it is only a threat not an actual threat.

Part III

6. How does the Warden describe the Reservation?

First only about its physical appearances then he goes on to describe it as a prison.
