Brave New World Chapter 9

1. What did Lenina do when she got back to the rest-house?
She took so much somma that it kept her in the trance of a somma-holiday for eighteen hours because she was incapable of dealing with the realities of life she had just faced for the first time.

2. What does Bernard ask his Fordship, Mustapha Mond?
He asks him to allow John and Linda to return with him to London as a part of some scientific investigation into their situation.

3. What does John say when he is by Lenina's bedside? Why is this significant?
He recites a passage from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. This could possibly foreshadow the death of John and Lenina since they are being compared to two characters who are doomed from the very beginning of Shakespeare’s story.
