Bernard Marx in a "Small" Package

In the novel, Lenina says she is interested in Bernard Marx, but Fanny is not to sure about him. You then will come to know an alpha named Bernard Marx. Mr. Marx is different from the rest of society; mentally and emotionally, as well as physically. He is aware of his surroundings in society which is not something that the people in this world do. "Normal" people do not realize what they are doing or care what they are doing. Bernard is considered an outsider compared to everyone else. He also has a huge crush on Lenina Crowne. This "crush" is against protocol. "Everyone belongs to everyone", as what people say. There is no time or need for crushes and emotional connections with others. That is not part of the perfect society nor how you accomplish the perfect society. Bernard is different physically due to the fact that he is shorter than the rest in his classification. As an alpha, they are supposed to be looked up to as the big dogs in society. In Bernard's case, he is looked down upon because he is eight centimeters shorter than all the rest of the alphas, as well as because he acts different. Bernard despises Henry Foster. He has a dislike for him throughout the novel because Lenina went on dates with Foster. Lenina leaves Bernard to go on a date with Henry because she is worried about being late to meet Mr. Foster. Marx does not like how men treat  Lenina like meat, as well as herself. He is upset with how things are going so he decides to get in his helicopter and just fly around. He then lands on Propaganda House, where he talks to Mr. Helmholtz Watson, an alpha plus. Bernard and Watson have a connection because they are both aware of there surroundings and of what they are doing. When Bernard feels the need to vent he goes to Mr. Helmholtz.

Ch. Three Info

In The Brave New World during chapter three, "playtime" is introduced for about six and seven hundred little boys and girls consist of being completely naked in the sun and playing sexual games. During the book, a seven year old boy and a girl a older then the boy were playing a rudimentary sexual game and in a different bush another little boy did not want want join the erotic play with a little girl named Polly Trosky. An older person comes and take the little boy to the psychologist to see what is wrong with him. From this part in the novel, one could tell that erotic play is an ordinary thing that happens everyday even at such a young age. It is not normal for one to refuse to join in sexual play. During this chapter, Lenina goes into the girls dressing room, which has eighty vibro-vacuum massage machines and hundreds of bath tubs. She goes to her locker that is located next to Fanny's locker. Lenina tells Fanny that she is going to go out with Henry Foster again. Fanny is not to fond of this because Lenina has not gone out with anyone else since the last time(four months ago) she was with Henry. Fanny frown upon this because the D.H.C. (Director) objects to intense or long drawn relationships. It is against what they believe is right. Fanny reminds Lenina that "everyone belongs to everyone else" and that Henry has had other women. We also find out in this chapter that if something is broken, you throw it was and get a new one ("end it, don't mend it").
