Revelations

"The greater a man's talents, the greater his power to lead astray. It is better that one should suffer than that many should be corrupted." pg 148

When Linda and John came into the Centre, I finally made a connection (took me long enough). Back in chapter six (part 2), the Director was rambling on about his past life to Bernard, and I found it rather unimportant. But now I see why it matters, as Linda is the woman who he was talking about. Linda had a son too, which is none other than, the Director's son. Now that everyone knows the Director has a "birthed" son, (thanks to Bernard) he looks like a huge hypocrite. Now I predict that he will be ostracized because he was called "father," a phrase he frequently condemns. This whole situation is karma, and now that the Director's mistake is public, the novel may have a turning point! Well in all, I found this chapter rather amusing, between the Director's embarrassment, John acting like a baby longing for his dad, and Linda scaring all the children at the Centre with her words ("baby, mother, etc"). The Director has made a complete fool of himself, mainly due to Bernard though. Bernard is not someone you want to mess with..
