Brave New essay topic

 Analyze the character of Bernard Marx.  In what ways is he admirable? In what ways is he less than admirable?  Overall, how would you characterize his motivations and actions?  Explore the function his character plays in the novel. What purpose does he serve?

In answering this essay prompt their are a few things I would definitely need to mention:
1) Bernard is constantly searching for his identity.
2) He is admirable, because in a world where everyone shares the same thoughts he dares to have his own.
3) By the same token his character flaw is that although he has his own thoughts so far he has not had the courage to act on them.
4) His role in the novel is to show the point of view of someone in this world who is of a lower caste.
