Bernhard Marx : he works at the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre as a scientist. Mr. Marx is an Alpha- plus, and for an Alpha he is very small. Not only his body is different, he is different. "'And then he spends most of his time by himself- alone.' There was horror in Fanny's voice." There is the rumour that "[...] somebody made a mistake when he was still in the bottle- thought he was a gamma and put alcohol into his blood- surrogate". Bernhard Marx doesn't like his life, he has other moral opinions than the others, for example he doesn't want just to have a girl, he wants to love a girl. "'Talking about her as though she were a bit of meat.' Bernhard ground his teeth. 'Have her here, have her there. Like mutton. [...] He would have liked to go up to them and hit them in the face- hard, again and again. 'Yes I really do advise you to try her,' Henry Foster was saying." (p. 46/47) And Mr. Marx thinks about the things going on in the world. So he is very different.
John, the Savage : he lives in a savage reservation, and later he comes to London. In all two places he is different from the others. He has civilised parents (real parents!) and he lives with his mother in the reservation. His mother came there by accident and couldn't "flee". He was born in the reservation. Because he is not a real Indian, he is not accepted in all points, for example he doesn't have the right to do the same religious ceremonies like the other boys at his age. And in London it's clear that he is different, he has like Bernhard Marx other moral opinions. His thinking is different.
Lenina Crowne : she also works at the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre. It isn't said in the text if she's an Alpha but I suppose she is an Alpha or a Beta. Lenina is just like the other women, she is not different.
