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.

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.

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.

[[Fefe Dobson]] will release her sophomore album on [[February 7]] [[2006]]. It was first expected to be released [[September 20]] 2005, but was soon pushed back to [[October 25]] [[2005]]. The release date has, as of now, changed to [[February 7]] [[2006]]. According to Fefe, she wanted to go to the studio and finish some last few things that she felt weren't quite right. The title of the album is Sunday Love, and was named in tribute to Fefe's mother. The first single [[Don't Let It Go To Your Head]] was released to radio in [[July]] [[2005]], but the music video wasn't released until [[October]] 24, 2005. It is rumored that a second single will be released before the album is out. There are no sources to say which single will be released, it is all speculation at this point.

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.
