Mond discusses the fact that there was initial resistance to the use of hypnopaedia, the caste system, and artificial gestation in the World State. He says that instability rising from strong emotions have caused social unrest, war, and disease in the past. This strong emotion, he states, will cause instability in the World State. He explains that strong emotion is caused by delayed gratification of desires, sexual repression, and family relationships. Yet numerous small holes render gentle streams of water. He compares the restricted channeling of desire and emotion to water in a pipe, under pressure. Mond starts to tell the group about life in the time before the World State’s policy of strict control over social relations, reproduction, and child-rearing. He reassures him in a condescending way that he has no plan to corrupt the students. Mond becomes aware of the Director’s nervousness. He has been told that Mond has forbidden books, such as collections of poetry and Bibles. Mond alludes to a Ford quotation when he says “History is bunk.” He does this when explaining why the students have not been given any history instruction other than what the Director explains to them. The students are overawed by his presence. He is also one of a mere ten World Controllers. Mustapha Mond is the Resident Controller for Western Europe. These notes will describe Mustapha Mond’s speech first and then get into the two conversations in the changing rooms. It pushes in Mustapha Mond’s speech to the boys with the scenes of Henry’s discussion in the male changing room and Lenina’s conversation in her changing room. The story suddenly starts to move back and forth between three different scenes.
He has heard of Bernard’s unsavory reputation. As they make their way to the rooms, Henry sees Bernard Marx and snubs him. They are going to get ready for their date. Lenina and Henry Foster go up to the changing rooms. The Director introduces him as “his fordship.” Four thousand electric clocks all strike four at once at the complex. He starts explaining negative effects of sexual repression. The Director surprises the students by stating that sexual play among children and adolescents was once seen as abnormal and immoral.
The boy is taken to see a psychologist immediately. The boy was feeling uncomfortable with the sexual play in which the children were pushed to take part. An example is “Centrifugal Bumble-puppy.”Ī child’s cry is heard from the bushes. In the World State, all games must use complicated machinery. These kinds of simple apparatus did not boost consumption. The Director says that “in our Ford’s day,” most games needed nothing more than a few sticks, one or two balls, and perhaps a net. Several hundred children, all naked, are playing there. The Director brings the students into the garden.
