How is Bernard Marx described at the beginning of chapter 4 in Brave New World?
In a society of perfectly flawless people, Bernard's flaw - his short stature - marks him for ridicule. The rumored cause, alcohol in his blood surrogate, links him chemically to the lower castes and undercuts his Alpha Plus status. Bernard himself is painfully aware of others' responses to his un-Alpha-like shortness, and his lack of confidence stems from anxiety about rejection.
