How Is Bernard Presented In Brave New World

Helmholtz and Bernard are both very intelligent individuals and are different from the other Alphas. They both feel like they are outsiders and are unhappy with how the community is. Bernard is considered an “outsider” because of his physical appearance, he is not attractive like the other Alphas in society and is not respected by the lower castes when given orders. Bernard says, “I am I, and I wish I wasn’t” (Huxley, 64). From this statement one can infer that Bernard is unhappy with his placement and feels like a social outcast. Unlike Bernard, Helmholtz is extremely attractive and, “...looked...every centimetre an Alpha Plus” (Huxley, 66-67). Helmholtz works with Emotional Engineering and feels that his writing could be used for greater

P144 "What should have been the crowning moment of Bernard's whole career had turned out to be the moment of his greatest humiliation." He had tried to elevate himself, to become accepted in a society that shunned him, by using the savage, but it had backfired and therefore the reader can sympathise. Not only had he lost the respect of his peers and fellow Alphas, but also he had lost the respect of someone who was, in many ways, so similar to him. Bernard can be pitied immensely for his ability to sense, see and appreciate things of beauty and as he could value and enjoy his

Bernard was brought up knowing that hard work and effort will lead to success. With taking his father’s advice, Bernard makes sure that he is prepared for graduation. All of the time invested in school pays off when Bernard gains status as an important Lawyer later in life.

Aldous Huxley has a humanistic, deep and enlightened view of how society should be, and of what constitutes true happiness. In his novel, Brave New World, he shows his ideas in a very obscure manner. Huxley presents his ideas in a satirical fashion. This sarcastic style of writing helped Huxley show his views in a very captivating and insightful manner. The entire novel describes a dystopia in which intimate relationships, the ability to choose one's destiny, and the importance of family are strictly opposed. In Huxley's mind, however, these three principles are highly regarded as necessary for a meaningful and fulfilling existence.

In conclusion, Bernard is interested in pursuing his personal desires, instead of conforming to society because he doesn’t like the way society is and what it is restricting people from.

This quote talks about how Bernard is discussing with ford about if he can bring back the Savages, but not because Linda lived in London before but for experiments on John. I chose this quote because I wondered why Bernard would be so cruel to another person, and make someone else's life miserable just so he can benefit from it. I feel like he should understand how it feels to be mistreated and not want that to happen to anyone else. But in my opinion I think he is getting himself and John into a bad situation with the society (100)

     It is evident that Bernard and Lenina shift their attitudes after they meet the savage, John. Bernard gets a taste of power after bringing the savage home to London and becomes satisfied and happy as defined by Brave New World, a complete turnaround from his previous, almost American ideals. Lenina finds love and joy, as an American would define it after being content for so many years in the society of Brave New World. Before he finds the savage, Bernard is unhappy with his surroundings,

Bernard Marx is the only other character, aside from Helmholtz Watson that is not happy with his

Helmholtz Watson, at the beginning of the book is portrayed as the prime example of a good member of society. However, as the story continues it is evident that he does not have pride in his home. Helmholtz does everything that defies what the World State stands for. Altogether, Bernard is a better citizen than Helmholtz of the World State.

Bernard Marx, one of the central characters who is an Alpha Plus but ashamed of his outlook. From his private thoughts, he has the desire to fight the system and become a popular person. His low self esteem makes him feel that he has the need to yell at the Epsilons to protect his dignity as an Alpha Plus. Even if Marx 's inner thoughts shows that he is a rebellious and indignant person, his actions show otherwise. Because of his unsatisfiable sexual desires and low self-esteem, he criticizes everyone. But the irony is that the ones he criticize are those he most desire to become. He loathes John for his barbaric characteristics. Yet, Marx has to use the "Savage" to maintain his popularity. Marx is trapped in a world which he tried so hard but failed to fit in. From his imagination, he fought his boss. But in reliality, he begged to not to be send to an island and blamed the fault to John and Watson. He critizes Lenina for taking soma. Yet, he

He is fervently determined to succeed in his contemporary competitive society. In a conversation with his children about Bernard, he enumerates a few

Bernard juxtaposes Helmholtz. He is an Alpha-Plus who fails to fit in with his caste due to his scrawny physique. His physical stature is no different than those of the average Gamma. It is evident that his conditioning is incomplete as he doesn’t enjoy community events, promiscuous sex, or sports and doesn’t see the need to take soma. Helmholtz is handsome, physically superior, can get any female he chooses, and is more intelligent than Bernard. Unlike Bernard, he is also well respected and is very comfortable in his caste.

The way the men speak of the women disgusts Bernard; they act as if the women are pieces of meat. Both men from both novels have some sort of physical flaw that outcasts them from the rest of the people. Bernard is shorter than most and Jonas has unusual eyes.

Mr. Bernard seems to have a hard-changer personality in the fact that he believes in
