Bernard's Expulsion

"The greater a man's talents, the greater his power to lead astray." (page 148)

Bernard may finally get to leave the World State, although not on his own accord. I'm not exactly sure what the last straw for the Director was, but he finally confronted Bernard - and the whole community- about his unorthodox ways. I think this could turn out positively for Bernard in the long run. The quote clearly shows that the Director is intimidated by Bernard's individuality and absurd way of life. The Director must know what it feels like to be different. I think he knows how truly special Bernard is, and he doesn't want anyone else to be lead astray by Bernard. Bernard has the intelligence and power to lead an uprising and change to World State forever. I think that is the true reason the Director exiled him.
