The+Warden's+Speech

What:
 * Describe thoroughly the specifics of the Reservation
 * Show the effects of soma through an actual occurrence
 * Show Bernard's character in various occasions (the tap was left running, he was faced with an actual threat)
 * Show how the Warden describes the Savages in the Reservation

Purpose:
 * Bernard and Lenina will soon be very surprised by the Reservation and its many unappealing aspects
 * Bernard is more excited by entering the unknown territory that is the Reservation than Lenina is; this further develops their characterizations
 * Once again, show how the people take soma to avoid anything unpleasant
 * Show that Bernard may act strong when he does not believe a threat is real, but he changes once the threat could actually harm him (false bravery)
 * Foreshadow John's demise
 * Show that the people of the World State look down on the Savages for being "less civilized" supposedly

How:
 * They ignore the Warden at first, but once they enter the Reservation, everything he said is true
 * Their reactions change from boredom to a vague and content interest after taking soma, this change is made clearly visible and is described
 * The phrase "destined to die" is repeated in regard to Savages - this applies to John at the end of the novel
 * The Warden uses words like "funny" to describe the Savages traditions and existence
 * Author mainly uses dialogue to convey the happenings of this scene
 * Dialogue = inserts information and opinions in a casual manner
