Due to Bernard’s unorthodox habits, looks, and behaviors, he is generally considered to be an outsider compared to the rest of the Alphas. He is perceived like this by at least the Alphas and the Deltas. The Alpha riders in the lift “pointedly turned their backs on Bernard Marx” (3) and the Delta helipad workers hesitantly got Bernard his helicopter from the hangar as they did not think he was an alpha because of his small size.

Some would wonder why Bernard physicality is unlike other Alpha males. Additionally, after learning about him, they would wonder why his beliefs are so different than what was supposed to be thought as “normal” in their society. His unique beliefs on topics like sex and sports would definitely surprise the average member in this utopia.
