The Director feels that Unorthodoxy is worse than Murder because Murder kills only the individual, and individuality is an almost non-existent concept in the World Order. However, Unorthodoxy, "strikes at Society itself," meaning that Unorthodoxy affects many, and changes the, which affects the goal of uniformity of the World Order.

2. What surprise does Bernard bring to the Director?

The surprise that Bernard brings to the Director is Linda. Grown old, "deformed," and ugly, living on the reservation, the Director does not recognize her and calls her a "monstrous practical joke." Bernard also brings John, who calls the Director "my father," to his great humiliation.
