Insecure - because he is so short other alphas look down on him, he notices and it makes him feel isolated from the rest of his caste

"To have dealings with members of the lower castes was always, for Bernard, a most distressing experience. For whatever the cause (and the current gossip about the alcohol in his blood-surrogate may very likely—for accidents will happen—have been true) Bernard's physique was hardly better than that of the average Gamma." (64)

Bernard is an Alpha, however he doesn’t appear as the others, he is shorter than the others which makes others question if he is truly an alpha or if there was an accident in his incubation.

“‘Alcohol in his blood-surrogate,’ was Fanny’s explanation of every eccentricity.” (88)

Bernard wants to be noticed and respected as much as the other alphas

"In the lift, on their way up to the changing rooms, Henry Foster and the Assistant Director of Predestination rather pointedly turned their backs on Bernard Marx from the Psychology Bureau: averted themselves from that unsavoury reputation." (25)

Initially not scared of being sent to Iceland, but after it becomes more certain it becomes one of his biggest worries

“But that, as he realized, was because he had not believe that, when it came to the point, the D.H.C. could ever do anything. Now that it looked as though the threats were really to be fulfilled, Bernard was appalled.” (104)

Let’s go on a walk by the river 

“Apparently, for going on walks in the Lake District; for that was what he now proposed. Land of top of Skiddaw and walk for a couple of hours in the heather. ‘Alone with you, Lenina.’” (89)

I just want to be alone

“Lenina had suggested a swim at Torquay Country Club followed by dinner at Oxford Union. But Bernard thought there would be too much of a crowd.” (88-89)

Bernard tends to make others feel uncomfortable, he constantly goes against the grain of society,  

Makes Lenina cry 

“But Lenina was crying. ‘It’s horrible, it’s horrible,’ she kept repeating. ‘And how can you talk like that about not wanting to be a part of the social body?’” (91)

Take a trip to the Savage Reservation, something that very few people are willing to risk or even want to do

“Moreover, for at least three days of that week they would be in the Savage Reservation. Note more than half a dozen people in the whole Centre had ever been inside a Savage Reservation. As an Alpha-Plus psychologist, Bernard was one of the few men she knew entitled to a permit.” (87-88)

Shorter than everyone, makes him heavily judged by everyone else

“He stood eight centimeters short of the standard Alpha height and was slender in proportion.” (64)

Bernard made the comment to Lenina that he would prefer to go on a walk by a lake, alone with her, rather than go out to a social event. This could look like one of the lakes in the Lake District.]]> 2018-12-18 05:15:23 UTC https://padlet.com/chadams100/uz0yno85rlsw/wish/315412097 chadams100 https://padlet.com/chadams100/uz0yno85rlsw/wish/315413141 Bernard is described as being shorter and skinnier than the rest of the Alphas, almost if he still had to grow. This image represents a boy that appears to be small in stature, but does not appear phased by that fact. This could be a representation of Bernard as he is shorter than the rest but attempts to not let others know that this impacts him.]]> 2018-12-18 05:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/chadams100/uz0yno85rlsw/wish/315413141 chadams100 https://padlet.com/chadams100/uz0yno85rlsw/wish/315413367 It is mentioned in the text that Bernard is one of the only people who has chosen to visit the Savage Reservation. When he arrives, he meets many people with face paint. This painting of a Native American could be representative of one of the people that Bernard saw on the Savage Reservation.]]> 2018-12-18 05:24:07 UTC https://padlet.com/chadams100/uz0yno85rlsw/wish/315413367
