Journal 2 Brave New World Topic B

    Bernard feels like his trapped in the society. Being to perfect, Bernard wants to break out of the boundaries and be a normal person and a complete robot and a made human organism. What Bernard does to break away from the pack is, he stops taking the medications which allow a person to be constantly happy and worry free. With this medication it makes the person a complete android having no other emotions which leads to being perfect. By not taking the meds it allows him to be normal which is a plus but during the ceremonial events he doesn’t experience any of the “happenings” like the rest of the Alphas. Also by not taking the meds, Bernard tends to lash out more and act out on his emotions instead of being able to control and handle them on his own. In the end since Bernard doesn’t take his meds he eventually is told and threaten that he would be shipped off to Iceland because he is a not a perfect replica in the dystopian society.
