Chapter 10 has a lot to give us and many things are revealed but it was a very informative chapter regarding how the director was never really living up to what he preached. John’s character is revealed more fully in his confrontations with World State culture. His struggle to suppress his desire to touch Lenina demonstrates the moral code that he has internalized from Shakespeare and from the “savages” on the Reservation. A World State resident would have gone for instant gratification. John finds himself in the unenviable position of living in the World State without World State conditioning. He is attracted to Lenina, but his views on sex are so radically different from hers that conflict is inevitable. At the end of it Bernard also bring John to help the people see the truth about the director.
