Chapter 10
Summary
On their return to London, the D.H.C. is determined to
make a public exhibition of Bernard. In front of the personnel of the Fertilizing Room the D.H.C. accuses Bernard of non-conformist behavior, and announces his transfer to a remote sub-center.
Bernard then produces Linda, and tells the entire audience that she is the
wife of Tomakin.
Linda screams, “You made me have a baby”, and throws her arms around him. John then appears, addressing Tomakin as his father. The audience bursts into laughter and the D.H.C. makes a hurried exit.
Interpretation
We now see the first climax of the plot, which has
slowly gathered pace, and we witness a complete turnaround, Tomakin the D.H.C. is disgraced, and now Bernard is the center of attention, but the reader must remember that it is Mustapha Mond who was the catalyst for
this development.
