Very different thinking from everyone else around him. 

Bernard thinks of being free of this world of pleasure. 

He usually feels pain which makes him more humane and eyeopening to the society he lives in; because of that, Bernard gets called odd. 

Wants to be uncontrolled. 

Doesn’t want the responsibility. 

• "All the same," he went on, after a little pause, "I still rather wish it had all ended differently."(93). In this quote, Bernard is talking to Lenina about how he thinks of endings differently from how it’s supposed to be, he wants it to end somewhere else other than the normal- going to sleep with her. He defines going to bed with Lenina like “infants–instead of being adults and waiting."(94).

People around Bernard feel uncomfortable because of how odd he is compared to the society he lives in. 

They avoid talking to him because they don’t want their ideas to rub off on them and that he is just talking nonsense. 

No one really likes Bernard and he always wants to be alone.  

• "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 unsavory reputation."(34). In this quote, it can be inferred how different Bernard Marx is from everyone else around him, even Henry Foster and the Assistant Director of Predestination, they both didn’t want to deal with Bernard because they know he’s the odd one out of the group, and they simply “averted themselves from the unsavory reputation” of him not changing and being ‘out of the norm,’ simply because he is feeling something different than what they feel, and the other social group feels.
• "I told you so," was all that Fanny said, when Lenina came and made her confidences. "It's the alcohol they put in his surrogate."(94-95). In this part, Lenina comes back from her hang out with Bernard and tells Fanny about it and Fanny warned her before the hang out that he is very weird and not someone Lenina should have an interaction with.

Bernard likes being alone.

He likes going somewhere where there is no crowd or loud music. 

Just look at nature in peace and keep contemplating. 

• "I want to look at the sea in peace," he said. "One can't even look with that beastly noise going on."(90). This part is where Lenina plays the radio while they’re alone looking at the sea. Bernard doesn’t want Lenina playing any noise, he doesn’t want these sorts of interactions, he just wants to sit in peace. Lenina doesn’t respect that because she is only doing what the society does.
