How and why was the DHC planing to make an example out of Bernard?
Learning about history is discouraged because if people know about the past they can
compare their lives to people's back then, and they may discover that people of our time
were just has happy, and this makes people of Ford's time to question their lifestyles. Ford
wants people to live and consume in the present, he believes history is garbage,
unimportant.
The DHC told Bernard to meet him in the Fertilizing Room because "it contains more high
caste workers than any other." The director wants to do this because Bernard is very smart,
and with that comes moral responsibilities. The director is afraid that Bernard will corrupt
people with his ludicrous beliefs.
Alpha's are the smartest, are used to invent and run the country, and wear grey. Beta's are
less intelligent than Alpha's, but are still considered upper-class. Gamma's wear green,
Delta's wear khaki, and Epsilon's wear black. The last three caste's have a mental disorder
due to lack of oxygen and are used for manual labour.
Our world is looked down upon because things were simpler and not everything was
invented or based on increasing consumption. With each new and complicated game or toy
that was invented, the next one had to be more elaborate and in some may more
challenging, and eventually people started basing their worlds around waiting for the next
best thing.

left without her. She accidently got pregnant and horrifyingly gave birth to her son John. He

Death isn't terrible because people have been conditioned to like it. This means that death

What is the meaning of the World State's motto "COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY"?
The leaders want everyone to feel part of a community, and to feel accepted. They want

buying to keep markets and the government stable.
She really wants to get it in, she gets naked and tries to have sex with him.
He switches between different conversations very quickly and they become as big as one
sentence then we switches to a different character speaking. I thought it was powerful, but
very confusing and hard to keep up with.

by himself. He has a close relationship with Linda, and feels protective of her around other
men.

What role does Mustapha Mond play as a censor? Why does he do it? What does he

Gamma's, Delta's and Epsilon's. The last three castes have a mental disorder due to lack of
oxygen as a fetus that makes them less intelligent.
He reads the papers to see if they can be published, he does it because he has to make
sure people dont learn a higher education from a book or paper because they want people
to be stupid.
