2. Bernard
• I believe Bernard to be a smaller, insignificant looking fellow.
However, I see him to be cute in his way that only a few
handful are privileged enough to see. For instance, Franny
thinks Bernard to be ugly, but Lenina “rather likes his looks”
and feels as though he’s appealable like a kitten; she just
wants to pet him. So forth, I chose the following picture
because I imagine Bernard with sandy-like hair, skinnier
than the average man, yet cute in his own way. He looks like
a misfit and basically one of a kind. There’s no mistaking his
looks. Right now in the novel, Bernard’s role seems big. He’s
just one man with a different perspective trying to gain
Lenina’s love, but in what we call a proper manner today.

4. Helmholtz
• Helmholtz in my eyes appears to be a very attractive
male. In the novel, it mentioned his stalky, confident,
beautifully cut body and face. He is and looks intelligent,
yet still has great success with woman and is easy on the
eyes. Many say he was “a powerfully built man, deep-
chested, broad-shouldered, massive, and yet quick in his
movements, springy and agile. The round strong pillar
of his neck supported a beautifully shaped head. His
hair was dark and curly, his features strongly marked.”
Helmholtz’s role at the moment seems huge. He’s a man
with a lot of power, but doesn’t know what to do with it.

6. Lenina
• As we read Brave New World, Lenina appears in my mind to be a
virtuous woman. However, she is a rebellious woman as well, but
she falls under the pressure of the World State’s expectations of
her actions and way of life, which sticks to the status quo. It is
said she is an attractive girl as well. I picture her with long,
innocent brain hair because she’s longing to do her own thing,
but is pressured into being what she’s supposed to be, so she’s
pretty, but the same as everyone else. Lenina’s role in the book at
the moment seems extraordinary. She has the power to make a
huge change in society. Bernard is longing for her, and his
intentions are different than others. So forth, if she agrees to be
with Bernard and take things slowly, she could start something
new in society and create a huge change.
