Strobe Light Structure

"'Well, all I can say is that I'm going to accept his invitation.'
Bernard hated them, hated them. But they were two, they were large, they were strong.
'Then the Nine Years' War began in A.F. 121.'" -pg 47

On about page 47 Huxley starts to switch the scene among four different scenes every few lines. While this was definitely confusing, and I had to reread a few lines to make sure I knew who the speaker was. The only thing I could compare it to was being in a strobe light. Scenes and dialogue kept flashing by and were gone barely one after another. The four scenes were: Mustapha Mond's instructive narrative with the children, dialogue between Lenina and Fanny, the thoughts of Bernard Marx, and Henry Foster and his friend's discussion of Lenina. This rapid and complicated flipping between scenes provided several services.

The most important scene was Mustapha Mond and his lessons about stability and how it was achieved through the destruction of the viviparous system. When the scene changed between Mond and the conversation between Fanny and Lenina, the new reproductive system that replaced the viviparous old world Mond described was  demonstrated. Fanny and Lenina talked about their sexual conquests which were many and varied. Fanny was shocked  that Lenina preferred to stay with Henry Foster for four months. This switch between narrative of a concept and demonstration of a concept helps the readers picture how the characters viewed the new and old reproductive systems. Another scene, the dialogue of Henry Foster and his friend, continued the depiction of how women and sex are viewed in the futuristic novel, Brave New World. The only exception to the system of narrative and demonstration was Bernard and his thoughts. Bernard may the rebel I predicted appearing in my first post. He opposed Henry Foster and despised the way men in this future thought women were meat. Combined, the scenes and the rapidity with which they switched created initially confusing, but generally helpful literary strobe light effect.
