Line 1:

'''Bernard Marx''' is one of the main characters in the novel ''[[Brave New World]]'' by [[Aldous Huxley]]. Bernard is viewed as an outsider by his peers, and it is rumoured that the worker who was in charge of his bottle put some alcohol in it by mistake, owing to Bernard's abnormally short height and 'ugly' features.

===[[Vaginal fungus]]===

Tagged as patent nonsense, but sadly although this is utter nonsense it isn't [[Wikipedia:Patent nonsense|patent nonsense]] and hence isn't speedyable. '''Delete''' all the same. [[User:CLW|CLW]] 19:22, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Members of the higher castes are conditioned to dislike the shorter lower castes and this places Bernard in a grey area — he is an [[Alpha-Plus]], but is not quite part of the Alpha-Plus set. This has probably led to some of his other peculiarities. He does not enjoy the drug [[Soma (Brave New World)|soma]] or the "feelies", chooses to spend time alone, and is not promiscuous. In addition, Bernard harbours a kind of dissatisfaction with some aspects of the society and tends to be unsociable and aloof towards his more hedonistic peers. Despite his somewhat negative qualities, Bernard is profoundly intelligent and a bit philosophical.

*'''Delete'''. Well, I suppose you have to laugh really, or you'd cry. Shame I just had dinner really. Excuse me. [[User:Dwilke|Dan]] 19:29, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' yeah just delete. --[[User:Pboyd04|Pboyd04]] 19:34, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

It has been suggested that his name is a crude amalgamation of [[George Bernard Shaw]] and [[Karl Marx]]. To some extent he acts as the novel's [[false protagonist]], being the major 'outcast' in the novel until this role is replaced largely by [[John the Savage]]. After John appears, Bernard becomes accepted as a hero, and he attempts to become promiscuous and take soma, thus becoming more fully integrated into his society.

*'''Delete''' I tagged it as patent nonsense, but I stand corrected. ''Utter'' nonsense it is. [[User:David Sneek|David Sneek]] 20:24, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' Made me laugh though, reads like an old fashioned "Booke of Claymes of Medisyn". [[User:Doktorbuk|doktorb]] | [[User talk:Doktorbuk|words]] 20:30, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Also, Bernards's isolation is amplified early in the book when he attends a meeting for people to "become one." At this meeting 12 people take soma and become one with Ford (the man who started this idea of conformity, the book is set in A.F. 642, A.F. meaning after Ford). However, Bernard feels no effect from the soma and can only focus on one woman's unibrow.

*'''Speedy delete''' as patent nonsense, "cover gentitals with bird droppings" - it's as nonsensical as possible while still being in English. Obvious hoax. [[User:Ifnord|Ifnord]] 20:53, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''', in case it can't be speedied (I believe it could). [[user:Phaedriel|<font color="green">'''Phædriel'''</font>]] 21:01, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

*'''Detele'''. Also, LOL. - [[User:Liontamer|Liontamer]] 22:56, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
