"'I'm taking Lenina Crowne to New Mexico with me,' he said in a tone as casual as he could make it." (68)
Bernard Marx had many flaws that made him an unlikely candidate for acceptance into the community. However, he did want to be accepted. This was evident by the jealousy Bernard felt toward Hemholtz and all of the women he could have. He also envied Hemholtz's relationship with John after just a short period of time. So, even though he was clearly different form others in society, he obviously wanted societal approval. Because of this, he felt the need to boast about any socially acceptable feet that he accomplished, mainly to Hemholtz, who really did not care at all. This lead to an inevitable down fall, when he felt the need to upstage Mustapha Mond, by offering advice on ways to change society for the better. By this act of blasphemy, he confirmed his fate in exile and this probably never occurred to Bernard, because he thought he knew better than the world controller.
