Have you ever heard of the Holocaust? The Holocaust was a terrible time in history when Adolf Hitler was torturing many innocent Jews.

Anne Frank who was Jew, has a famous quote that says “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” Even though throughout the “Diary of Anne Frank” we see that people are not always the best they could be, I agree with Anne and believe that everyone is still good at heart.

Mae Holland is an ambitious, intelligent young-woman and the main character in Dave Eggers’ novel The Circle. Although her character is paramount to telling the novel’s main story (detailing the prominence of the monopolistic, power-hungry tech company known as “The Circle”), she is hardly a protagonist, with her being ill-informed at best at the book’s beginning, and complicit in the Circle’s nefarious doings by the novel’s conclusion. Mae is an exceptionally bland character who offers little interesting internal dialogue and who’s only notable overarching character trait is her ever-present insecurity and her need to please others. Arguably, it could be said that Mae truly is not the main character of The Circle at all; Rather The Circle company itself, or more precisely Mae’s relationship with the The Circle (and by association its dystopian philosophies) are what take center stage. As a character, Mae is malleable; a clean slate waiting to take orders and eager to agree with her superiors, she yearns for attention from others, is figuratively trapped inside The Circle’s elaborate campus, and acts as a mouthpiece for the The Circle’s leaders; repeating whatever they want her to say. Due to the fact that Mae Holland possess these characteristics, she is comparable to a parrot.
