Brave New World Blog 3

In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, I think the character Bernard Marx is not only a hypocrite, but a failure that should have risen in his development that he once yearned for, only to slip back into his depressed, weak stage in the civilized world. For a long time period, I thought Marx was going to change and really be an inspirational, individualist when returning to the civilized world but that is not so. This also goes to show us human nature, and how one's approval with high society members and overall adoration can stall our progress and make us forget our once aimed purpose and feelings. Seen in Mustapha Mond's office, crying and begging to not be sent to an isolated island with others who share an interest with being more than just conditioned and ignorant to almost every aspect of life, he chooses to weep at the World Controller's feet for mercy. I think Bernard will find peace and the best of happiness that is capable for him with being exiled, it is just unfortunate this character could not have been more helpful with John and lost focus of his once intended goal.
