Brave New World Chapter 11

Hint:

The Chief Bottler, the Director of Predestination, three Deputy Assistant Fertilizer-Generals, the Professor of Feelies in the College of Emotional Engineering, the Dean of the Westminster Community Singery, the Supervisor of Bokanovskification–the list of Bernard's notabilities was interminable.

“all upper-caste London was wild to see this delicious creature who had fallen on his knees before the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning–or rather the ex-Director, for the poor man had resigned immediately afterwards and never set foot inside the Centre again–had flopped down and called him.”

The Director decides to resigns.

“And Linda, for her part, had no desire to see them. The return to civilization was for her the return to soma, was the possibility of lying in bed and taking holiday after holiday, without ever having to come back to a headache or a fit of vomiting,”

People didn’t like Linda, and she was also going through depression because she keep taking the soma.

“It was John, then, they were all after. And as it was only through Bernard, his accredited guardian, that John could be seen, Bernard now found himself, for the first time in his life, treated not merely normally, but as a person of outstanding importance. There was no more talk of the alcohol in his blood-surrogate, no gibes at his personal appearance.”

Bernard was starting to feel important to the world because John being the “Savage”.

“the Assistant Predestinator came out and cadged almost abjectly for an invitation to one of Bernard's evening parties. As for the women, Bernard had only to hint at the possibility of an invitation, and he could have whichever of them he liked.”

While he is getting more “important”, Bernard decides to have more advantage to be with other women, too.

"And I had six girls last week," he confided to Helmholtz Watson. "One on Monday, two on Tuesday, two more on Friday, and one on Saturday. And if I'd had the time or the inclination, there were at least a dozen more who were only too anxious …"
Helmholtz listened to his boastings in a silence so gloomily disapproving that Bernard was offended.
"You're envious," he said.
Helmholtz shook his head. "I'm rather sad, that's all," he answered.
Bernard went off in a huff. Never, he told himself, never would he speak to Helmholtz again.”

Helmholtz was starting to get scared because Bernhardt was changing and he isn’t his usual self. Also, Bernard thought that Helmholtz was jealous of him.

"The Savage," wrote Bernard in his report to Mustapha Mond, "shows surprisingly little astonishment at, or awe of, civilized inventions. This is partly due, no doubt, to the fact that he has heard them talked about by the woman Linda, his m–––."
(Mustapha Mond frowned. "Does the fool think I'm too squeamish to see the word written out at full length?")

Mustapha Mond's anger gave place almost at once to mirth. The idea of this creature solemnly lecturing him–him-about the social order was really too grotesque. The man must have gone mad. "I ought to give him a lesson," he said to himself; then threw back his head and laughed aloud. For the moment, at any rate, the lesson would not be given.”

Bernard decides to write a report to Mustapha Mond, but Mustapha Mond got angry and he thinks Bernard is ready to teach the lesson of the world.

“At Eton they alighted on the roof of Upper School. On the opposite side of School Yard, the fifty-two stories of Lupton's Tower gleamed white in the sunshine.. Death conditioning begins at eighteen months. Every tot spends two mornings a week in a Hospital for the Dying. All the best toys are kept there, and they get chocolate cream on death days. They learn to take dying as a matter of course."

As John was looking around the place at school, he was realizing that this world was just becoming worse..

"Asked me if I'd take the Savage to the feelies this evening. I must fly." She hurried away towards the bathroom.”

Bernard assigned Lenina to take John to the Feelies.

“Fanny Crowne”

Lenina is the one who meets Fanny Crowne.

“She had spent one week-end with the Ford Chief-Justice, and another with the Arch-Community-Songster of Canterbury.”

People thought Lenina was also important because she was part of the Arch-Community-Songster of Canterbury.

"Sometimes I think he does and sometimes I think he doesn't. He always does his best to avoid me; goes out of the room when I come in; won't touch me; won't even look at me. But sometimes if I turn round suddenly, I catch him staring; and then–well, you know how men look when they like you."

John's confusion about how to deal with women, his simultaneous desire and guilt, means that Lenina also and for the first time has to deal with unfulfilled desire and sexual confusion.

“Looking down through the window in the floor, the Savage could see Lenina's upturned face, pale in the bluish light of the lamps. The mouth was open, she was calling. Her foreshortened figure rushed away from him; the diminishing square of the roof seemed to be falling through the darkness.

Drying her eyes, Lenina walked across the roof to the lift. On her way down to the twenty-seventh floor she pulled out her soma bottle.”

John and Lenina have grown up believing in totally different things. Lenina believes in promiscuity and getting what you want, while John believes in honor and virtue and respect. When they're upset, John turns to the truth and beauty of art, while Lenina turns to the oblivion of soma.
