"'But I was an inquisitive young scullion once. I started doing a bit of cooking on my own. Unorthodox cooking, illicit cooking. A bit of real science, in fact."
(pg.226)
Again, I keep getting lost in all the twists Huxley puts in the story. It is like he wrote the first story and then went back and changed all the plot to the opposite. Mustapha Mond's character is continuing to change from what I originally perceived. He now reveals that he was once like the three of them facing a potential removal from civilization to an island. Could this be a possible forshadowing that Mustapha Mond might try to change the world back to how it was? Also, I am wondering how could Mustapha Mond be given such a responsibility after he nearly got banished for disobeying what he would have to later enforce. It just seems peculiar that Huxley would continue with these unexpected events. I'm curious to see how he will end the book as I approach the final chapters. Will Mustapha Mond play a key role or will Huxley, again, include something unexpected to shock the reader?
