21. Brave New World Lesson 12
The turning point: Bernard’s dinner with the Arch-Community-Songster of Canterbury. John refuses to turn up. He locks himself inside his room just as later on Lenina will lock herself inside her bathroom. It’s all presented in a comic vain but in the end it will be tragic.

27. Brave New World Lesson 13
Everything is grossly exaggerated, but there’s a serious element of truth: for us too death is becoming less and less of a tragic event – more like a biological step. Separation between the fear of suffering and the anxiety about a possible afterlife.

28. Brave New World Lesson 13
An inversion of values: one would think that the mentioning in this context of the Other Place refers to heaven or anyway to some kind of afterlife, but no, the Other Place is simply BNW. Paradise is now, and to die means to leave paradise: an awful prospect.
