11. Bernard's Submission

11. Bernard takes Lenina out over the ocean and Lenina has a pretty violent reaction (91-92). Bernard really challenges her thinking and hynopaedia, but she is horrified to no avail. She wants him to leave and after trying fertively to get her to understand he realizes he cannot change her. Silence occurs and then he bursts out laughing. He then, fondles Lenina and she says to herself, “Thank Ford, he’s all right again.” What is Huxley’s satire---his Juvenalean warning?
