We see that Bernard starts going back to his old ways. At the end of the dinner we see that Bernard takes a soma. John chooses not to go and everyone is left to think that Bernard is a joke. Maybe all the popularity was going to his head and he thought he would do this just to please him. Almost as if he gave himself an importance in the savages life. Bernard was so afraid to go back to his old ways he begged the savage to come out for his dinner.īernard says to the savage ” Won’t you come to please me?” (Huxley Pg. You may call it normal but it would be different it would set him apart from everyone else.
Soon enough Bernard was going to be the same way he was before. People do say nothing lasts forever and it seemed that way for Bernard’s newfound popularity. This is definitely a change in Bernard’s attitude as we see he now enjoys being with more than one person. As it also states in the text ” At the same time, he genuinely liked being a success and having all the girls he wanted” (Huxley Pg.145). He was being sought out by the most important people. Everyone now sees Bernard as this greater because of the savage. He has become a popular man because of John “The Savage”. Then we see the path Bernard has started to take. Why is he disapproving now when they were actually two very good friends in the beginning? We see that Helmholtz is disapproving Bernard’s actions. In the text it states ” Helmholtz listened to his boasting a in a silence so gloomily disapproving that Bernard was offended” (Huxley Pg.145). I definitely noticed his new attitude when he was boasting away to Helmholtz. You might even say he has actually become like everyone else. There were also new actions and a new attitude shown by Bernard. I couldn’t help but notice Bernard’s new popularity throughout these chapters.
