As I read more into Brave New World the title makes more and more sense. This far in the story Bernard has totally shown bravery in its' highest aspect, by embarassing the director infront of the world leaders. By doing this, Bernard has showed the rest of the people that surround him that he actually can think on his own two feet. We all know by now, none of the other characters would step forth like that. It makes the reader wonder what Bernard's next action will be, whether it will be another brave one or just to let this one sink in completely. The new world will hopefully include more bravery such as the past example. The book is also making a lot more sense now that it is coming together as an actual story. The characters are evolving and becoming more like actual people rather than clones that are alive for only one purpose.
I still don't understand why Huxley would choose to write about such a provacative society when this was strongly opposed in the time that it was written. I also don't fully understand why the hospital for children is for death, and the death conditioning process.
