Out in the field, how did you balance losing yourself in the rave and being present enough to report on what was happening? Fanny voices the conventional values of her caste and society, particularly the importance of promiscuity: she advises Lenina that she should have more than one man in her life because it is unseemly to concentrate on just one.
