![]() What Bernard allows the reader to see the very human part of what I expected to be a very controlled inhuman environment, he lets the reader see that the world is still very human. This gives readers an interesting point of view into the story were you see the downside that you wouldn't think of in the new world, you think, or I think that its negative side is lack of freedom and individuality. Bernard is an "Alpha plus" which is essentially the intellectuals of this world the leaders and such, however he has stunted growth and this created a mental excess of sorts making him smarter then most but he is unable to socialize as others veiw him as something of a freak. ![]() ![]() ![]() "What the two men shared was the knowledge that they were individuals." (62), the two men being Bernard and Helmholtz who I will talk about later but in this quote represents what separates Bernard from the world that Lennia fits in so well, he different and as history will tell you humanity has never been good at dealing with the different. He is somewhat of an outcast in the brave new world, or would be if people being alone was not some great crime in this story, something I find very interesting is that despite being an outcast he loves the world of the story, and he longs to be part of it, he desires the "happiness" of The Brave New World. Bernard in a way shows clearly the flaws with the reality of the brave new world. The second main character, and much more so of one is Bernard Marx, an interesting person in this story.
