Theme:
The director wants to humiliate Bernard in front of everyone. “A public example. In this room, because it contains more high caste workers than any other in the centre.” (147) A reoccurring theme is power, and the ability to flex that power to prove a point. I feel as if public examples can only scare people up to a point before it starts to get people rebellious.
Here is a link of an article about someone who thought a court case shouldn’t have been made a public example out of. http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/05/defense-government-made-lori-drew-symbol-of-cyberbullying/ It just shows how we flex our power too, and need to make sure we don’t overstep boundaries.
