Summary: In this chapter it shows us that children are running around naked, engaging in erotic play. In this world it is quite normal. this is an example of situational irony because in today's world that is frowned upon and children are sheltered from such things. History does not matter and they take quotes from Henry Ford and use them out of context. At the end of the day Lenina Crowne is off work and getting ready to go out. She reveals to her friend Fanny that she has been in a relationship with Henry Foster for 4 months. Fanny is shocked and doesn't want her to get in trouble because in this world it is unheard of to be in a long relationship. You "try" different people all the time and are open about being unfaithful. Bernard really likes Lenina and doesn't want to be with other people. Bernard is an allusion to Karl Marx and the communist party and how they rebelled. the same way that he doesn't think the same way as everyone else in the world. This idea of being unfaithful is situational irony because in our world that isn't acceptable.
pneumatic- adj; filled with condensed air...
allusion: to no crosses, they became T's,
The Nine Year's war alluding to the 100 years war?
Foreshadow- when fanny tells Lenina to be careful otherwise she'll get in trouble?
