 * Accounts for the relationship between Bernard and the D.H.C.
 * Foreshadows a HUGE point to come in the story.
 * Introduces the savagery in the reserves.
 * Offers an inside look to a possible love (and scandalous) life the D.H.C. had once had.
 * Shows Bernard in an elated state and rather happy with himself after hearing the D.H.C.’s threats of deporting him to an island for being different and misbehaved.
 * To foreshadow the revelation that the D.H.C. had once had a paramour, altogether creating a child the “old fashioned way.”
 * Juxtaposes the previous scene of a moral and honest Bernard with a “boastful” and pitiful Bernard.
 * Demonstrates that an authority is also flawed and imperfect.
 * Shows that Bernard is naturally oriented towards rebellion and anarchy.
 * By writing through the scene with mostly dialogue, Huxley builds on the existing relationships in the book
 * Omniscient point of view is beneficial to the reader’s guided understanding of the character’s feelings.
 * Allows connections and inferences to be made, such as Bernard’s attitude towards the World State.
