Bernard knows he is different from the others and knows their opinions on him which is why he is making himself an outcast from the Alpha’s. Fanny describes Bernard as ugly and “so small” and that “smallness was so horribly and typically low-caste” (pg 51). So I then found out that he is very much different from the others in his caste and society. Huxley then writes that when Bernard was being “put together” there was some sort of a defect/mistake. “why are people so beastly to him? I think he’s rather sweet.” (pg 50) This then led me to think that Bernard is very different from the other people. This sounds like its a good thing me, but then Huxley writes that Bernard spends “most of his time by himself-alone”.
#BERNARD MARX BRAVE NEW WORLD PLUS#
Huxley describes Bernard Marx as an Alpha plus which is the highest caste a person could be. Before Lenina and Bernard, Huxley was referring to the other people but not giving anyone specific names. These are the first two people Huxley introduces, stating their names and information about them. In chapter 3 we are introduced to Lenina Crowne and Bernard Marx. The Bokanovsky process and the Machine in my opinion are similar because they are both controlling life, Bokanovsky Process controls reproduction which makes life and the Machine is those peoples lives from birth to death. I felt this process was similar to how the Machine in The Machine Stops controls every aspect of life. (pg 17) I thought that the “Bokanovsky Process” was crazy, that one egg could turn into ninety-six! Imagine it was really like that in real life and someone can give birth to ninety-six children? WOW.
a bokanovskified egg will bud, will proliferate, will divide. The “Bokanovsky Process” was something where you could control fertilization and reproduction “one egg, one embryo, one adult. Something like a person.Īfter reading Chapter 1, Brave New World reminded me of The Machine Stops. I feel this is like a puzzle, mixing and matching pieces until something fits and comes together. Once you’re predestined and set in a caste, you’re set for the rest of your life. These people have every aspect of themselves picked out and controlled by others such as their caste, predestination, the colors that they wear and from that, their whole life is determined and it will always stay that way. I then learned about the director and that is it people who are being “made” in the “factory”. I pictured hundreds of people working with machines all day long. It was described to be something like a factory.
In the beginning, chapter 1 of Brave New World Huxley explains what the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre is.
