From Chapter 6 of Brave New World, support the assertion that Bernard's protest is more talk than action, and what is Helmholtz's reaqction?What is...

When Lenina is out with Bernard, he objects to playing
Electromagnetic Golf at St. Andrew's, he wants to be alone with her rather than at the
wrestling championship, and he wishes to contemplate the beauty of the sea and the moon
with only her--all actions against his conditioning.  However, despite his grumblings,
he accompanies Lenina to the soma bar at the Women's Wrestling
Championship, and, back in their rooms,

Bernard swallowed four tablet of
soma at a gulp, turned on the radio and television and began to
undress.

The next day Bernard
regrets that they have ended the day in bed, saying that he wanted to "try the effect of
arresting my impulses" because he wants to feell something "strongly," Lenina is again
confused.

After Bernard has gone to the Director with his
permission slip to allow him to travel to the Reservation with Lena, Bernard boasts of
his having responded to the Director's chastisement regarding his infantile behavior
with Lenina.  He tells Helmholtz,

'I simply told him to go to the Bottomless Past
and marched out of the room.  And that was
that."

Helmhotlz, however,
fails to award Bernard with the expected sympathy and encouragement.  Instead, Helmhotlz
sits silently, regretting Bernardo's falsity and bravado.  He finds Bernard's havit of
being bold after the event.  As he stares at the floor, Bernard blushes and turns
away.

Then, after Bernard and Lenina travel to the
Reservations, Bernard suddenly remembers that he has left his Eau de Cologne tap
running, so he rushes to call his friend Helmholtz.  When he can finally call his
friend, Helmholtz informs him that the director has said in public that Bernard is going
to be sent to Iceland.  His bravado wilts:

Now that it looked as though the threats were
really to be fulfilled, Bernard was appalled.  Of that imagined stoicim, that
theoretical courage, not a trace was left.  He takes two grammes of
soma.

In
this chapter, a pattern of Bernard's behavior emerges as he projects his deep-seated
feelings of rejection and inadequacy onto someone else.  After his confrontations, he
does not take action; instead, he consumes soma, escapes into
sleep, rejecting the beauty of nature that he professes to enjoy.  Clearly, Bernard is
not the romantic Byronic hero, one buffeted by the constraints of society, that he
imagines
himself.
