Despite him being a part of the highest caste as an Alpha, he is an outcast. “Bernard’s physique was hardly better than that of the average Gamma. He stood eight centimetres short of the standard Alpha height and was slender in proportion. Contact with members of the lower castes always reminded him painfully of this physical inadequacy.” (64).
Bernard is an Alpha, he is the single person in a world where you're always happy and physical pleasure are the only concerns. Blown away by women, Bernard manages to engage the attention of Lenina Crowne, a "pneumatic"<
The reader encounters a repetition from Lenina in the start and the end of the passage chosen with “I don’t like it”, which shows how Lenina feels while visiting the reservation with Bernard, one of the other main protagonist of the novel. However, it is not the proof of how Lenina reacts throughout the passage to this new civilization she is discovering. Lenina is questioning Bernard about what they are both observing and as Lenina reacts outrageously, Bernard is taking the novelty factually and philosophically. While Lenina is throwing questions after questions to Bernard such as “What is the matter with him?” , “But how can they live like this?”, “old?”, he answers all of them rhetorically with “He's old, that's all”, or with, “these people
His understanding bothers him; however, he believes it sets him on a pedestal. Bernard looks down upon others while he still conforms to society making him an outsider to his world.
Yet, these messages they’re impalanting seem to be just normal in this case. Bernard disagrees with others viewing people as items;, he believes they’re more than that, people with compassion, with feelings. He himself, treats himself as not an individual, which he desires to be, but just an Alpha in the World State. Also, he treats people that they are nothing but castes below him due to the pressure of the people around him. He’s going against what his judgement is to conform to what is right normal in the World State.
Despite its purpose of achieving the aforenamed solidarity, Bernard was as “miserably isolated [after] as he had been when the service began” (Huxley 86). The service ironically reminds him how alone he is by accentuating his differences instead of helping him feel more included. While other participants experience “rapture [with] no trace of agitation”, Bernard continues to feel alone and unhappy (Huxley 85). His sincere attempt to join the others in their atonement failed terribly. Consequently, this suggests the woeful idea that some people just can not fit in society, despite their honest
In Brave New World, this character is Bernard Marx, who falls in love with Lenina Huxley before she becomes pregnant with John's child (Brave New World). Meanwhile, Montag rebels against society by reading books that teach him how to read (451). In this essay, we will compare and contrast these characters' portrayals in an explicit manner.
"Not for you, white-hair!" "Not for the son of the she-dog," As a result nobody included him in town activities and he always felt like the outcast. When John first met Bernard he wanted to go to the World State because he thought it was the “perfect place” because his mother had fondly told stories about it. He is sadly disappointed when he arrives in World State because he realizes it isn’t as wonderful as he had hoped it would be. He finds out that nobody reads for pleasure and the only way they get pleasure is by doing brainless activities and doing soma.
Once Bernard finds John, he starts taking advantage of John’s uniqueness as an opportunity to fight his internal class struggle. Rather than yearning for change in society as in the beginning of the novel, Bernard is more concerned with impressing others and climbing up the ladder. While there are no monetary stresses in Brave New World, Bernard feels the need to improve his status because of his mistreatment by the lower classes as a result of his physical disabilities. For example, when Bernard is trying to get the lower castes to prepare his helicopter, he has to exert force, even as an Alpha male, to accomplish tasks (Huxley 64). Bernard starts treating John like an object, rather than a person.
Bernards alienation because of his physique and his enrichment from his different moral views illuminates the meaning of the novel overall which is the definition of freedom. The utopia in the novel puts a lot of emphasis on conformity and discourages individuality, which is something Bernard doesn’t follow the rules of. As seen in a conversation in chapter 6 with Bernard and Lenina, Lenina insists that the society has a great deal of freedom represented by soma and its hypnotic state. The author uses this technique to show the reader that the true definition of freedom is not conformity and obedience, instead, it’s the independence to be an individual apart from the rest of
Bernard is the only one who tries to break the lack of individualism in his community. Bernard wanted to be “more on [his] own, not so completely a part of something else. Not just a cell in the social body”(Huxley 90). The utopians described themselves as being to everyone else that no one was on their own. However, Bernard wanted to be different than everyone else, he felt different than everyone else.
RATIONALE I wrote a diary about Lenina’s thoughts in the Brave new world society. As a principal character, Lenina represents a model citizen that always follows its policies. But I think that inside herself she has desires and disagreements with it. Bernard´s behavior mentally confuses her, because he was always complaining about the governments ' ideologies and opposing to take soma.

Marxism is the idea of social science that studies how economic activity affects and is shaped by social processes. Social processes are the way individuals and groups interact, adjust and reject and start relationships based on behavior which is modified through social interactions. Overall marxism analyzes how societies progress and how and society ceases to progress, or regress because of their local or regional economy , or global economy. In this case, Marxism’s theory applies to the novel, Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, where a society where mass satisfaction is the instrument utilized by places of power known as the Alphas in order to control the oppressed by keeping the Epsilons numb, at the cost of their opportunity to choose their own way of life. Marx thinks that an individual had a specific job to do in order to contribute to their community and that is the only way to do so; There is no escaping your contribution either.
Nevertheless, we shouldn’t reject Marx too quickly as a tyrant deriving
