NICK’S CARDINAL VIRTUE

Nick’s cardinal virtue is that he’s one of the fewest honest people he has even kmown. This admission changes the way we look at Nick because no matter who you are you can’t always be honest.

The character who fits this description happens to be Bernard. Bernard is considered an outcast in the beginning, but doesn’t accept himself for what he truly is. The idea Huxley has on Bernard connects to the theme, which is that it is easier to be part of society and be part of their label, than being an individual and being considered an outcast.
