* IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance: At first she tries to figure out something is off with having to sleep with everyone and lower classes doing the grunt work but it's quickly ignored due to the conditioning. She mostly serves as a viewpoint of how brainwashed Alphas act.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Ruins the DHC's career (albeit partially unintentionally) because he wanted to transfer him to Iceland. Somewhat {{Justified}}, since Bernard considers the transfer a case of ReassignedToAntarctica.

"Mond" is obviously an alternate spelling. Also, removed bad indentation.


* DarkMessiah: Hmmm, let's see. First of all, [[MeaningfulName "Mond" means moon.]] His inferiors reference him by the title "fordship." Then, there's his extremist philosophies. But perhaps ''most significantly,'' he ''consciously'' - throughout the novel, he continuously demonstrates himself as possibly ''the'' [[WickedCultured most anthropologically versed person in the entire world]] - likens himself to Jesus through his perversion of the biblical quote "Suffer [the] little children."
** It's probable his first name refers to Mustapha Kemal Ataturk, the founder of Turkey who modernized and westernized it, and that it's meant as a trilingual pun: Mustapha Mond -- "Must-have" "the Moon".
*** "Mond"(German) means moon, while "monde"(French) would mean world.
