"It was John, then, they were all after. And as it was only through Bernard, his accredited guardian, that John could be seen, Bernard now found himself, for the first time in his life, treated not merely normally but as a person of outstanding importance. There was no more talk of the alcohol in his blood surrogate, no gives at his personal appearance" (Huxley 156).
Disagree, Individuality is a threat to a harmonious society.
In this excerpt, it shows the contrast between John and Bernard. Bernard hasn't changed at all. He is still an intelligent Alpha and physically looks the same. However, he shows his true colors. John soon becomes very popular. Since John is "the savage", everyone wants to have him. As the guardian of John, Bernard is very intrigued by John's instant fame. He is disappointed with society and he desires to fit in. Since Bernard achieved his status through John, he is pleased to remain in society. Bernard's actions displays how he is forgetting what he believes in.
