"No pains have been spared to make your lives emotionally easy--to preserve you, so far as that is possible, from having emotions at all. (BNW, page 44)"
Hold the phones! Someone has ACTUALLY showed emotion, which is a shock in this society. "'Talking about her as though she were a bit of meat.' Bernard ground his teeth. (BNW, page 45)" Wow! Someone is getting angry over something that is expected out of society. Hmmmm. I'm thinking that, if this is like all other science fiction novels I've read, I have either A) come across the hero or protagonist, or B) this person is about to die. Granted, both A and B could very likely be true. It was just really shocking that after the Controller's speech about no emotions, a man felt such rage. "Bernard hated them, hated them. (BNW, page 47)" I wonder and hope it will explained shortly why he is different from the rest of society so as to feel some emotion. Did something go wrong with his test tube? The two women spoke of a rumor that someone alcohol-poisoned him in his test tube, but that's just a rumor, and being s Roncalli student, I know how the truth can be misconstrued. I'll be keeping my eyes on this Bernard Marx man, that's for sure.
