Final Brave New World

1. Why did Huxley towards the end change Bernard's character from being individualistic, wise and interesting, to being a begging, terrified, cowardly person?
2. How could the controller make all this happen when he understood all the unjusts of the system and had the power to fix it?
3. Why did Huxley switch main characters mid-book?

How do both these "utopian" societies, being completely opposite (one based on fear and one on happiness) both end up creating near the same brainwashed effect on the citizenry?
