Analyze Bernard in every aspect of his character (actions,behavior...), and please give examples.Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

In his admiration of Helmholtz, Bernard Marx, in
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, desires to
be a maverick but lacks the fortitude to be one.  As an indication of his character, his
physical defect symbolizes his inner nature as well.  In Chapter 3, Henry Foster and the
Assistant Director of Predestination

rather pointedly turned their backs on Bernard
Marx from the Psychology Bureau:  averted themselves from that unsavoury
reputation....Those who feel themselves despised do well to look despising.  The smile
on Bernard Mrx's face was
contemptuous.

Clearly,
Bernard has an inferiority complex, and he tries to compensate for his hairy body and
shorter stature--attributed as a mistake of adding alcohol into his
blood-surrogate--by being intellectually independent:

One hundred repetitions three nights a week for
four years, thought Bernard Marx, who was a specialist on hypnopaedia.  Sixty-two
thousand four hundred repetitions make one truth. 
Idiots!

In his resentment for
being considered physically inferior, Bernard asserts himself in small rebellious acts
that mimic one of America's great individualists:  Henry David Thoreau. Bernard takes
trips out to see nature, he seeks solitude, and he attempts "to march to the beat of a
different drummer" by conscientious objection in  returning to culture.  His taking
Lenina to the Reservation is such an act. 

However,
Bernard's complex about having a baser appearance prevents him from following Thoreau's
path other than in theory.  When he discovers Linda and John on the reservation, Bernard
demonstrates his petty nature as he makes a move to attain the power he has pretended to
scorn:  he offers to take Linda and John back with him.  And, after he becomes popular
for having brought back John the Savage to the New World, Bernard flaunts his
unorthodoxy for attention, proving himself a hypocrite.  For, he reneges on his promises
to John and simply exploits him and Linda for his own ends of popularity and revenge
against the Director.

In contrast to Helmholtz and John,
Bernard remains shallow and uninteresting, despite his loneliness and anguish.  When the
riot occurs in Chapter 15, Bernard is indecisive and
craven.

urged
by a sudden impulse, [Bernard] ran forward to help them [the Deltas]; then thought
better of it and halted; then, ashamed, stepped forward agains; then again thought
better of it, and was standing in an agony of humiliated indecision--thinking that
they might be killed if he didn't help them, and that
hemight be killed if he did--when (Ford be praised!) goggle-eyed and
swine-snouted in their gas-masks, in ran the police....He shouted,
'Help!'

Unlike Helmholtz, an
authentic man who anticipates eagerly the experience of cold and deprivation in his
exile, Bernard whines about his sentence, trying to deflect any blame onto
others:

Send
me to an island?....You can't send me.  I
haven't done anything.  It was the others. I swear it was the
others.

In "a paroxysm of
abjection," Bernard throws himself upon his knees before the Controller:  Oh please,
your forship, please...."  Bernard persists in his grovelling, so the Controller has him
vaporized with soma.

Nevertheless,
Bernard, in his genuine unhappiness, does go the Falkland Islands more of a real human
being than he has been
before.
