A Brave New World Chapter 10

1. Why does the director feel unorthodoxy is worse than murder? What does the director want to do with Bernard Marx?
-With murder, only one person suffers, but with unorthodoxy many people suffer. He says that, "murder kills only the individual- and after all, what is an individual?" On the other hand, unorthodoxy threatens the entire society, which is much more significant than only harming one person. The director wants to dismiss Bernard from the center by sending him to Iceland.

2. What surprise does Bernard bring to the director?
-He brings Linda in with John, which completely humiliates the director while also making him feel ashamed.
