Ch. Three Info

In The Brave New World during chapter three, "playtime" is introduced for about six and seven hundred little boys and girls consist of being completely naked in the sun and playing sexual games. During the book, a seven year old boy and a girl a older then the boy were playing a rudimentary sexual game and in a different bush another little boy did not want want join the erotic play with a little girl named Polly Trosky. An older person comes and take the little boy to the psychologist to see what is wrong with him. From this part in the novel, one could tell that erotic play is an ordinary thing that happens everyday even at such a young age. It is not normal for one to refuse to join in sexual play. During this chapter, Lenina goes into the girls dressing room, which has eighty vibro-vacuum massage machines and hundreds of bath tubs. She goes to her locker that is located next to Fanny's locker. Lenina tells Fanny that she is going to go out with Henry Foster again. Fanny is not to fond of this because Lenina has not gone out with anyone else since the last time(four months ago) she was with Henry. Fanny frown upon this because the D.H.C. (Director) objects to intense or long drawn relationships. It is against what they believe is right. Fanny reminds Lenina that "everyone belongs to everyone else" and that Henry has had other women. We also find out in this chapter that if something is broken, you throw it was and get a new one ("end it, don't mend it").
