Q. Who are the main characters in the novel? Do you like them? Why or why not? What is special about them? What do they reveal about the universal human experience?
A. The main characters in this novel are Bernard Marx, Helmholtz Watson, Lenina Crowne, and John. First, I didn’t like Bernard Marx because he wasn’t able to stand up for his physical defections compared to the other Alpha-Plus. Bernard is special because he is smarter than any other Alpha-Plus in the Conditioning Center and he does really risky moves in the story such as bringing John to his boss. Second, I loved Helmholtz Watson because he is always questioning himself to know what he is missing in life. I think that he is special since he learned something that he had been longing for. Third, I didn’t like Lenina Crowne because she was not very interesting and was just a character that people liked so much. In addition, she in the end she changed a lot because of John’s difference and his refusal to become a “happy person.” Lenina is special because she realizes her true feelings and feels disconnected from society afterwards. Fourth, I really liked John for his nature of standing up to what he believes in and questioning himself to know what was right to get out of the mental shell. There are so many things that are special about John which are the fact that he still cares about Linda, his mother, and goes to a hill to get away from civilization and be unhappy. This information reveals that universal human experience can be different from the type of society, people, and government that people are in.
