12. Questioning Leaders' Personal Lives

12. When the director told Bernard about taking a young woman to the “savage reservation” Bernard thought the director had commited a “gross solecism”, a violation of etiquette. This is what Bernard was going to do with Lenina, so why was it a violation of social mores? What is Huxley’s satire towards leaders? Has this changed since the ‘30’s …our need for super-hero status?
