A Brave New World Chapter 13

1. What does Lenina mean when she says, "For Ford's sake John, talk sense. I can't understand a word you say. First it is vacuum cleaners; then its knots. You're driving me crazy." (p. 191)?
-Well, the way she was raised was so much different than the way John was raised, so when he beings telling her his feelings of how he likes her, she doesn't quite understand. She is confused as to whether or not he actually likes her or doesn't like her, because her world has been so different than his.



2. How does John react when Lenina makes advances towards him?
-He throws her off of him and threatens to kill her if she doesn't leave. I think that he thinks that the only reason she "likes him" is because of lust, not actual love, and this upsets JOhn, causing him to do this.
