1. Chapter 9
In chapter nine Bernard, John, Linda and Lenina is back in London
after being in the savage territory. Lenina, who found the territory
very disturbing, takes Soma that will make her sleep for at least 18
hours. So she has gone on Soma holiday. Bernard can´t seem to go to
sleep and in the morning he decides to go to Santa Fé and get the
business and information done about his guests that he brought with
him. He there speaks to Mustapha Mond about why these people are so
important to research. Mond agrees with Bernard and send him away to
the Warden of the Reservation office where he get the papers about
Linda and John.
John who is new in the “other” world somehow gets the feeling that he
has been left by Bernard and Lenina and breaks down. But he gets back
up and goes into the room where Lenina is taking her holiday. He now
gets these sexual feelings about her. He goes through her clothes and
looks at the zippers of different items of clothes. She is laying
there on the bed and he starts looking at her.
He is reciting pieces from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet about how
her hands, lips and body looks like laying there. He is struggling to
prevent himself from touching her but comes to senses when he realises
that it would defile her. As this is happening Bernards helicopter is
arriving back and John feels even more guilty and runs away and hides.
In this part of the book John is introduced for the first time to
their world, which of course is overwhelming for him. He is quite
amazed by their world, thinking about it as a utopia, seeing the best
parts about it, and not everything else.
In this chapter morale is important. You can notice it when John is
about to touch Lenina. But he comes to his senses and changes his
mind. This is because he doesn’t want to defile her. This has to do
with morale and with what is right and wrong. What becomes
increasingly clear, is how different the two worlds are, since John
struggles NOT to touch her, and anyone else would have felt that they
should do it.
The question is whether you are happier doing things in a slow
restricted way or in a fast, non-private way.

2. Chapter 10
In chapter ten we get to go back to the factory where all the babies
are being produced. The director who has decided that Bernard is to be
sent to Iceland has arranged a meeting with Bernard in the Fertilizing
room. He has decided to send him away because of his behaviour and his
way of going against ford and society. He describes it as “Sacrificing
one individual for the greater good of the society is no great loss
since the Hatchery can churn out dozens of new babies.”
When Bernard arrives the director gets the attention from everyone in
the room. He then speaks openly to the Bernard colleges about why and
where he is being sent away. Bernard gets one chance to say why he
should stay it he takes it. He then brings in Linda and to the people
in the room this is a frightening experience. Linda who looks dirty
and has a crooked smile and doesn’t fit into their society terrifies
them. Linda who’s had a baby with the director openly says this so
everyone can hear, making them very interested since the director has
broken an important rule in fathering a child. He denies this of
course in front of everybody but John comes in and shouts “My father”.
Everybody else in the room is now laughing about the humiliation and
it’s too much for the director and he runs out with his hands pressed
against his ears.
Here there are both utopia and dystopia events. They sort of go into
together here. Because the Director sees his purpose of keeping the
perfection that is in London. He sees that the best way of doing that
is to send away Bernard and then making sure that his idéas of what is
right and wrong doesn't spread on to others. So here we get a glimpse
of how the world should be Utopia. But we also get another view when
Linda and John comes in. Because we now get to see what could go wrong
with the way they are living. This is what frightens the staff in the
fertilizing room. You get to see how fragile the world of ford is.
