Brave New World Notes Ch. 3-6

Chapter 3
During the tour, the children learn that the World State encourages them to part take in sexual games/activities. sexual play during childhood and adolescence used to be considered abnormal and immoral, but now it's all part of everyday life. Bernard overhears Henry talking about the girl he likes, Lenina. The story shifts sciences to Lenina and her friend talking. Lenina has been seeing Henry for several months now and her friend advises her to be more open with other men. Lenina decides to pursue a date with Bernard but her friend tries to convince her to reconsider, saying that Bernard is closed off, different, and lacks confidence unlike the other Alphas. Lenina decides to give Bernard a chance because she finds him sweet. The chapter ends with Lenina getting complimented on her belt which is basically a dispensary of birth control that henry gifted to her. 

Chapter 4 
Henry and Lenina have a date in a helicopter. Henry's character develops and we begin to see negative traits and qualities he possesses. It's obvious by the way he neglects Lenina that women are not of his priority. He's a rude and selfish individual looking out only for himself. 
Embarrassed for Lenina publicizing their date/sexual attractiveness, Bernard seeks friend Helmholtz Watson, a lecturer at the College of Emotional Engineering. Helmholtz works as a propaganda writer and his colleagues say he's a little "too smart for his own good." Bernard and Helmholtz friendship is built upon the belief that they both refuse to stick to what's expected of the. They consider themselves unique and individuals, something the World State tries to deny. Helmholtz is dissatisfied with his work and it leaves him feeling like his work isn't making him reach his full potential. Bernard end the chapter by standing up periodically worried and thinking someone is listening on the other side of the door. 

Chapter 5
Although graphic, this chapter displays just how much Bernard really is isolated and does;t belong in this society. Lenina and Henry finish another date that ends in a lot of soma and intercourse. Lenina, completely disoriented from the drugs, still manages to remember to take her contraceptive. 
Bernard is forced to participate in Solidarity Service at the Fordson Community Singery. In short, the meeting involves groups of 12 at a table alternating boy girl where they take soma, listen to sex evoking music, as all part take in an orgy. This scene makes Bernard feel more isolated than ever before. 

Chapter 6
Lenina and Bernard go on a date. Bernard acts stand offish the entire date. Lenina attempts to give him soma but he refuses again and again. Bernard expresses his emotions to her, and Lenina doesn't understand what he feels. By the end of the night, he takes soma and has sex with her. 
The following day, Bernard tells Lenina he regrets rushing into sex with her. And wishes to try again at their relationship. Bernard asks the Director for permission to o to the Reserve to take Lenina on another date. While there, the Director confronts Bernard about his "usual behavior" and tells him to stop. While there, the Director reminisce about a trip he took there with a girl long ago. Opon telling the story, the audience is able to see that the Director loved this girl. But quickly after telling the story, he snaps out of it and corrects himself when he remembers he's not supposed to be sexually confined to one person. 
Director regrets revealing so much detai into his personal life. He yells at Bernard for his antisocial behavior and threatens to exile him to Iceland if he doesn't stop. Bernard exits the office feeling triumphant that he displayed such rebel behavior.
