Bernard's+Return


 * Chapter 10, Scene 2**


 * What?**
 * Illustrates the citizens' and the Director's reactions to and perceptions of Bernard
 * Discusses the consequences of Bernard's actions-going to the Savage Reservation as well as his "heretical views on sport and soma"
 * Outlines confrontation between Linda (and John) and the Director
 * Demonstrates citizens' reaction to an occurrence of natural birth, Linda and John, and the concept of "mother" and "father"
 * Introduces reader to the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning as "Tomakin"
 * Shows the Director's reaction to Linda and John, as well as their reaction to him
 * Why?**
 * To bring the two worlds-of the World State and the Savage Reservation-together and juxtapose them
 * To demonstrate the consequences of actions considered disloyal to the World State, using Bernard as the example
 * To compare the contrasting reactions of Linda and the Director to one another, as one is filled with emotion, while the other is hostile-this further exaggerates the idea of lack of emotions in the World State
 * How?**
 * The citizens' and the Director's consequences for and perception of Bernard are outlined through diallogue by the director with consent from the people
 * The reactions between Linda and John and the Director are illustrated and juxtaposed by the dialogue and the way in which their dialogue is delivered (Linda runs forward and buries her face in his chest, Director shouts)
