Bernard+sees+the+Director

What
 * Shows the hierarchy of command (the Director was second to the World Controller)
 * Describes an incident in which the Director strayed from conventionality and indulged in nostalgia
 * Gives a brief insight into what the Reserves are like
 * Shares his own experience even though it contradicts his societal views; changes his story
 * Explains that Bernard's behavior is considered atypical and against the rules of society
 * Shows that one form of punishment is to send the offender to a remote island
 * Shows Bernard's response to the Director's threat

Why
 * The Director often feels inferior to Mond and this plays a part in his character development due his inferior role in their relationship
 * Shows another, previously unmentioned rule of their society - they are not to think of long-gone events as this goes against their inclination toward new things
 * Director is further developed as a character: by telling the story he is showing more human emotions, unlike his typical serious, straight edge, by the book attitude
 * The description of the Reserve gives the reader a foreshadow of Bernard and Lenina's upcoming experience and also foreshadows John's story
 * The punishment is a foreshadow of things to come, and also shows that their society feels the need to isolate freethinkers so that they do not poison the main society
 * Shows the extent to which Bernard enjoys being an individual - even in the face of permanent isolation, he feels joy in the fact that he is important enough (and infamous enough) to be considered an individual
 * Director's stories (all in past tense) gives opportunity to contrast between then/now

How
 * "The Director had no choice"(95) - this implies that the Director is subordinate to Mond and must follow his orders regardless of whether he actually wants to
 * Bernard's shock in response to the Director's reminiscence shows how it was against societal rules (especially since Bernard is not known to take their rules very seriously)
 * The fondness with which the Director refers to the girl he lost in the Reserve suggests that they had a sexual relationship, which, in the absence of civilization, could result in a natural birth (John)
 * Besides actually telling the reader about Bernard's happiness, his whistling clearly implies that the Director's threat put him in a good mood
 * Scene mainly relies on dialogue, yet for the most part it is mainly the Director talking (almost like narration)
