The+Rest+House

=What:=
 * Bernard goes to the helicopter pad and, after making sure Lenina will be OK by herself, flies with the octoroon to the Santa Fe post office
 * Bernard gets Mustapha Ford to agree to brining John and Linda back to London
 * Bernard gets the necessary papers from the warden
 * Bernard hangs around the hotel leisurely for a bit and then heads back to Malpais
 * John goes to the rest house to see Lenina and Bernard
 * He thinks they have left already and is overcome by sadness and tears
 * After he finishes crying he peaks in a window and sees luggage with the initials L.C., or Lenina Crowne
 * He becomes overjoyed with happiness and throws a rock at the window to break it so he can enter
 * John starts to go through Lenina's things and zips and unzips her shorts, is embarrassed by her underwear, kisses and puts on her scarf, gets her perfume all over his hands, whispers her name, then suddenly hears a sound
 * He freaks out and shoves all of her things back into the suitcase but there is nothing there
 * A door partly open and he enters finding Lenina passed out on the bed because of Soma
 * He makes up a poem about her and speaks it
 * He then recites a Shakespeare poem
 * He puts his hand on her skin and pulls away thinking how beautiful she looks
 * He starts to think about how all he has to do is pull down her zipper and is mad at himself for such thoughts
 * There is a humming sound that gets louder and louder
 * It ends up being Bernard in a helicopter so he runs out of the rest house

=Why:=


 * Gives the reader an insight into John's thoughts about Lenina. Shows that he is beginning to fall into the pattern of the Brave New World sex life but quickly works to shake those thoughts out of his head. Shows how brainwashing but well thought out this World State is

=How:=


 * This scene takes place solely inside John's head, which gives the reader "top secret" information about the way John actually thinks. It shows the struggles he has with him self to not fall into the brainwashing cycle the rest of this world is in.
