BRAVE NEW WORLD - CHARACTERS

Bernard Marx is the most important character in the first part of this book. He's a very
small person (he looks like a gamma person) for being an alpha and he even says he hates
Ford, so he wasn't conditioned well. Lenina asks him for a date, which is very strange in
Brave New World. Bernard is isolated, because of his small body. The powerfully built
Helmholtz Watson is his friend, but when they're together only Watson talks. Bernard is
tearfully, which also indicates he isn't conditioned well. Lenina thinks Bernard is an
odd and eccentric person, he likes for example to be alone (as John the Savager, who
wasn't been conditioned at all) and nature (to look at the sea in peace). When Bernard
comes back from the trip he would be transferred to Iceland, because he had proved
himself an enemy of Society, but then Bernard shows the son of the director. Now this
director immediately resignes. This is the end of his isolation, a lot of women want him
now. 
Lenina Crowne works in the Conditioning Centre, where babies are made. She is quite
pretty, but not a normal person in this Brave New World, because she wants to go out more
than once with Henry Foster. She got him 4 months long without having another man. She
spends her holiday together with Henry to the Reservation later. When she's back and also
John joins them, she falls in love with him. But John isn't used to make love so soon
(which is normal in Brave New World), so this relation doesn't last long.
