		Bernard Marx won’t be the one to revolutionize the futuristic society and break it of its utopian state, for Bernard Marx is more determined to be excepted by the society, than to defy it.
		Bernard Marx is a semi risk taker, and doesn’t have the intestinal fortitude to lead the futuristic society into a world of free thinkers.
		Bernard Marx is to blame for all that happened in the society, his attempts to become more a part of the futuristic society, caused himself to loose stature, change a society forever, and cause an innocent savage from the past to hang himself from the pressure.

		Bernard Marx is one of the main characters in the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

	www.benditz.de - Hausarbeiten - Characterization of Bernard Marx
		Bernard Marx is one of the protagonists in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World and is introduced in chapter 3.
		Bernard is hardly a traditional hero figure, but that's why he is so valuable to the story since he represents negative, perhaps even self-destructive, human values in a world that is growing increasingly less human.
		Bernard Marx is an Alpha plus of high intelligence and therefore a member of the elite.

	Embodiments and Contextual Difference
		However, in the case of the four main characters, Bernard Marx, John the Savage, Helmholtz Watson, and Lenina Crowne, my contention is that the roles Bernard and John are seen as embodying have remained relatively static, while those of Watson and Lenina have undergone revision, which in Lenina’s case could be considered quite radical.
		Bernard is slightly smaller and shorter than he should be, and this difference is the site of speculation not only for himself, but also Lenina, our female protagonist, who surmises that alcohol may have inadvertently gotten into Bernard’s blood surrogate.
		Bernard would have been perfectly happy had he not always thought people were viewing him as inferior due to the difference in stature between himself and other Alpha males.

	Bernard Marx (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		Bernard Marx - An Alpha male who fails to fit in because of his inferior physical stature.
		Bernard’s surname recalls Karl Marx, the nineteenth-century German author best known for writing Capital, a monumental critique of capitalist society.
		Unlike his famous namesake, Bernard’s discontent stems from his frustrated desire to fit into his own society, rather than from a systematic or philosophical criticism of it.

		And one male, Bernard, she and everyone else finds strange because he refuses soma mostly and dislikes the way they've been conditioned, blamed on alcohol getting into his blood as he was being fertilized or some such craziness.
		Bernard invites him back to civilization with him and Lenina, this boy who has learned to read and love Shakespeare from a discarded book of Shakespearean works found by his mother and who is overjoyed at the prospect, as is his mother Linda.
		Bernard was the most realistic and complex character with his impassioned 'strangeness' that I could appreciate, but Huxley wanted us to follow the disturbing demise of the 'Savage' instead and Bernard was sent off to Savage territory in the Falklands.

		Marx, from the civilized culture, seriously questions the lack of history that his society has.
		John, often referred to as "the Savage" because he was able to leave the reservation with Marx to go to London to live with him, also has a hard time adjusting to the drastic changes.
		Though his mother talked of the promiscuity that she had practiced before she was left on the reservation (she was accidentally left there while on vacation, much as Marx was) and did still practice it, John was raised, thanks to the people around him, with the belief that these actions were wrong.

		Bernard stood watching the retreating twinkle of the white stockings, the sunburnt knees vivaciously bending and unbending again, again, and the softer rolling of those well-fitted corduroy shorts beneath the bottle green jacket.
		Bernard gave his orders in the sharp, rather arrogant and even offensive tone of one who does not feel himself too secure in his superiority.
		But whereas the physically defective Bernard had suffered all his life from the consciousness of being separate, it was only quite recently that, grown aware of his mental excess, Helmholtz Watson had also become aware of his difference from the people who surrounded him.

		Bernard and his friend Lenina decide to take a trip to the Savage Reservation, a place where the old, natural ways of life prevail.
		First there is Bernard Marx, who is in a way the ‘hero’ of the novel; he stands out from the crowd and sees what is wrong and what is right.
		As well, since Bernard is rather antisocial, in my mind he lacks personality — much of what the reader learns about characters is based on what the characters say, and since Bernard doesn’t say much, I can’t really figure out what he’s thinking in order to identify with him.

	somaweb.org > Aldous Huxley's Americanization of the Brave New World typescript - Critical Essay
		Bernard's Lenina first appears toward the end of chapter 1, when Henry Foster greets her by first name in the Hatchery's Embryo Store (BNW 17), but she is not seen again until chapter 3, several paragraphs after the Polly Trotsky passage (37), by which time "Nina" presumably had been changed to "Linda"
		Lenina can infatuate Bernard and attempt to seduce John; this seduction would have been impossible if she and Nina were identical, and it would have been confusing if John had a mother named Nina and a love interest named Lenina.
		All of chapter 7 describing Bernard and Lenina's reactions to Malpais, TS 94-119, are typed in purple ribbon and probably were written later than section 3, on which they elaborate without Lawrence's enthusiasm for Indian rites and rituals.

		Bernard is exiled for his participation and the Savage holes up in an abandoned lighthouse, where he grows food and mortifies his flesh as penance for his lust for Lenina.
		In many ways, the main characters of the book are cartoon figures - Helmholtz Watson the alienated superman, Bernard Marx the cowardly, hypocritical intellectual, Mustapha Mond the cynical all-knowing leader, John the doomed idealistic.
