Unfortunately he is spotted one day by two people. John escapes to a lighthouse to live in solitude. They all are taken to the Controller who sentences Bernard and Helmholtz to exile on separate islands. Bernard holds back while Helmholt joins in to help John. He and his friend, Helmholtz, arrive to find the workers attacking John. Bernard is called to come and control John. First he tells them the soma is poison, then he begins throwing away the soma. He cannot hold in his anger and disgust for these drugs and he decides to take action. As he is leaving the hospital he sees the workers lining up to receive their daily soma ration. Eventually he is called to the hospital to watch her die. John is also upset that his mother has become so dependent on the drug soma( which the people use to escape life and only feel happiness) that she will die. When Lenina throws herself at John he is repulsed and calls her a whore. The Director runs from the room never to be heard from again. To be called father is seen as a pornographic word. The workers who at first are stunned, begin to laugh. She calls the Director "Tomakin" and throws her arms around his neck. He tells Bernard in front of the other workers, that due to his lack of conformity he is being reassigned to Iceland. Once back in London, the Director has called Bernard to the Fertilization room. Bernard wants to use them to exact revenge against the Director. These two people were Bernard's salvation.īernard asks for and receives permission to bring John and Linda back to London. Just before coming to the reservation Bernard was told by his friend that the Director was telling people that he was going to send Bernard to Iceland. He also knows that the Director does not know about John. Bernard is all this time putting it together that this is the woman who the Director was speaking about. She is thrilled to see Lenina and Bernard. She had fallen and was taken in by the Indians. Linda tells the story of how she came to the reservation on a trip with a man named Tomakin and she became lost on a hike. They visit his home, which is a squalid house in which the young man, who is named John, lives with his mother, Linda.
Bernard and Lenina are stunned to see him. There they meet a young man who was white (the Indians were dark skinned) and speaks fluent English. He is thinking of sending Bernard to Iceland if he does not change his behavior.īernard and Lenina go to the reservation.
When he realizes what he has revealed to Bernard, he goes on the defense telling Bernard that he has had reports of his unusual behavior. He tells Bernard the story of how his female companion went missing and was never found. The Director agrees to sign the permits, but he also tells Bernard a story of when he went to the same Reservation.
Bernard approaches the Director to receive his signature on the permits needed to enter the Reservation. These are characteristics that are counter to what the people have been programmed to do. Bernard is also unusual in that he enjoys privacy and does not act in an infantile manner when not at work.
