Chapter 16 BNW notes

While Bernard, Helmholtz, and john were locked in a room by the controllers, Mustapha mond came in shooks hands with all three but it was john who, he asked if he didn't like the society and john responded no.  The controller said that the book Romeo and Juliet was prohibited because the book was too old and that they don't use old things, he also said particularly when old things are beautiful, they didn't wanted the society to be attractive to old things, they wanted all the people to like the new ones. John said the new ones was horrible and stupid and he suggested why don't they make a new one like Shakespeare and one that all the children could read and understand, Helmholtz said that is the exactly writing he had tried to write but the controller said that Helmholtz will never write something similar to that because if they do make a new one it wouldn't be the same.
The controller said that people were happy now and they don't need to change anything.
The controller also said that even science could be treated as an enemy. Bernard beg the controller to not send him to an Island and finally the controller ordered Three men to send Bernard into a bedroom and to give him soma.
