%%* DrivenToSuicide

to:

%%* DrivenToSuicide* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Hangs himself at the end of the novel because he can't cope with the combined grief of his mother's death and himself falling victim to the sins of civilized society]].



* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: He's ostracized from Alpha society for being shorter and quirkier than most other members of the caste, and is ''very'' resentful of being treated in such a way.



* DecoyProtagonist: Not as much a decoy as the first and least significant of two protagonists.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Bernard ruins the DHC's career because he wanted to transfer him.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Helmholtz.

to:

* DecoyProtagonist: Not as much a decoy as He's the main character for roughly the first half of the novel, but has very little to do plot-wise once John enters the story, and least significant of two protagonists.
in the end is only about as important as Lenina.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Bernard ruins Ruins the DHC's career (albeit partially unintentionally) because he wanted to transfer him.
him to Iceland. Somewhat {{Justified}}, since Bernard considers the transfer a case of ReassignedToAntarctica.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Helmholtz.PlayedWith in his friendship with Helmholtz. They have this dynamic when first introduced, and Helmholtz definitely considers Bernard to be ''his'' friend, but as the novel progresses it becomes increasingly clear that Bernard only hangs around him for lack of anybody else.



* ReassignedToAntarctica: He spends much of the book trying to avert an unwanted transfer to Iceland, which would leave him isolated from society. In the end, [[spoiler: he ultimately fails and gets shipped off anyway, though Mustapha Mond suggests that his new home isn't as terrible as Bernard believes it to be]].



* TheAce: As an Alpha, he is smart, athletic and good-looking.

to:

* TheAce: As an Alpha, he is smart, athletic Is considered to be this even among the other Alphas, which angers Bernard to no end despite their closeness. He's extremely intelligent, effortlessly charismatic, and good-looking.is definitely described to be something of a {{Hunk}} for good measure. He's also a...
** BrokenAce: He's popular, kind, can get any girl he wants, and is well-regarded even by his distant superiors. He's also clearly struggling with depression and frustration over his day job of composing mindless propaganda jingles when what he actually wants is to make ''real'' art. It's telling that his only real friend is Bernard, who is an outcast among the Alphas.
* ChickMagnet: Women just sorta flock to him. [[UnwantedHarem He's not interested]], which is another thing that contrasts him with Bernard.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Non-lethal variety. At the end of the novel, [[spoiler: he's rather at peace with being ReassignedToAntarctica by Mustapha Mond, because he knows that it's the only chance he'll get to pursue his artistic dreams]].



* NiceGuy: Unlike the other Alphas (of which Bernard is decidedly ''not'' an exception), he's genuinely kind, patient, and understanding, and doesn't just affect those traits for the sake of being social. Bernard actually gets infuriated at multiple points by what an implacably good person Helmholtz is.
* OnlySaneMan: Among the novel's main characters, he's pretty much the only character who isn't either swept up in the mindless doldrums of society (like Bernard or Lenina) or actively possessing a hand in perpetuating it (like Mustapha Mond). He's also the only character who actually gets something approaching a happy ending.



* ReassignedToAntarctica: At the end, [[spoiler: Mustapha Mond has him transferred to the Falkland Islands on account of [[HeKnowsTooMuch knowing too much]] about civilized society. He accepts it because he knows it's the only way he'll ever be able to create real art]].
* TrueArtIsAngsty: He wants to ''make'' true art, anyway, and what little we see of his personal work is definitely pretty angsty. [[invoked]]



* LoveHurts: Oof, she gets this ''bad'' over John.



* WhatIsThisFeeling: Very clearly starts developing feelings towards John that go beyond baseline physical attraction, but as a member of a society that firmly ostracizes such things, she has no idea what to do with those feelings or even how to properly describe them.
* WomanInWhite: She's a Beta, who primarily wear white clothes, so it comes with the territory. There's also some associated symbolism, what with how John holds her up on a moral pedestal.



* TheChainsOfCommanding: Running a [[DystopiaIsHard dystopia isn't as easy as it looks]]. Granted it's mostly because it bores him.

to:

* BigBad: In as much as a story with NoAntagonist can be considered to have a villain. He's one of a few people responsible for creating and maintaining the dystopian society of the novel in the name of maintaining continuous peace and happiness.
* TheChainsOfCommanding: Running a [[DystopiaIsHard dystopia isn't as easy as it looks]]. Granted Granted, it's mostly because it bores him.



* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: A firm believer in this, in contrast to John. Whether he's right or not is the driving question of the novel.
* VillainsNeverLie: Well, as much as he can really be considered a villain, but he definitely makes a point of always telling the truth even when it's painful or potentially hazardous.



* IJustWantToBeNormal: He was...[[spoiler:until his long lost son came to visit]]. He is also one of the few citizens who acknowledge Alphas are too smart to act like ManChild but believe it's their duty to avoid conflict.

* TheAlcoholic: She copes with a lack of access to ''soma'' by drinking alcohol excessively, and falls right off the addiction barrel again the second she's back in civilized lands.



* IJustWantToBeNormal: Too bad she has an offspring; why she didn't return to London.

to:
