Charlie Character Analysis

For being such intelligent doctors they should have known better than to put him through the surgery knowing all the risks. Charlie should not have gone through the experiment even though it was a major brake through for science. The doctors who performed the surgery were being very selfish when they decided to use Charlie for the experiment. Because of this experiment Charlie has lost all of his friends and his job and his feeling for miss.kinnian have grown rapidly just to get shot down.

When Charlie Gordon took the operation he started to feel and show emotions. First came anger when he saw people treated the boy working in the dinner with no respect. Next came love and happiness when he fell in love with Miss Kinnian and felt full of joy. Finally came sadness when Algernon died he felt sad because Algernon was a friend to him. In the story it said “P.P.S please if you get a chance put some flowers in Algernon’s grave in the backyard” (p.341). Charlie still feels sad that his friend Algernon is dead so he wants to show that he will always remember Algernon as a friend. If it wasn’t for the surgery Charlie would have never felt these

Charlie had two key things, which is why the doctors chose Charlie. The two key things were Charlie's motivation and Miss Kinnian. Miss Kinnian could teach Charlie after the operation, and the doctors Charlie's motivation showed that Charlie really wanted the operation. The doctors chose Charlie, without considering the benefits and harms for him, but only of those key things. The doctors only saw benefits for themselves.

Should Charlie have had the operation? In the story “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes, Charlie isn’t very intelligent. His teacher Mrs. Kinnian thinks he would be good to get to operation. Charlie is willing to lose his personality and everything about him already, just to get an operation that is supposed to make you intelligent. It may be temporary, but he goes for it. If he never had gotten the operation he wouldn’t have lost everything he had, such as his personality and most of all Mrs. Kinnian.

The surgery helped Charlie so much, that he passed his teacher. Charlie kept learning and while it was a bad thing for getting friends, he liked it. Miss Kinnian says " You've got

When Charlie Gordon had an IQ of 68 he had people who he had relationships with. Although his friends took advantage of his IQ he believed that they were laughing with him which made him very happy. When Charlie Gordon thought his friends were laughing with him he enjoyed going to work and being with his co-workers. Before surgery Charlie Gordon says at a bar that Mr. Donnegan says he is the best janitor he has ever had because he is never late and he has never missed a day (Keyes, progress report 9 April 3rd). After surgery Charlie later does not go to work for 2 months. This really shows how much Charlie’s operation changed his actions. When Charlie was losing his very high IQ he still understood that his co-workers were not his friends which really changed many of his relationships. On top of that Charlie Gordon started to feel feelings for Ms. Kinnian after surgery, before surgery he just saw her as a mentor but after surgery he saw something else. He had felt feelings for her which really made it awkward between them when Charlie lost his high IQ. Charlie Gordon’s relationships with different people change dramatically throughout the book because of his surgery.

The first reason that the operation was positive was because Charlie learned that he was in love with Miss Kinnian. Miss Kinnian and Charlie were having a dinner when Charlie knew that he liked her, "I don't understand why I never noticed how beautiful Miss Kinnian really is" (Keyes). Once Charlie became more intelligent, he realized something that he never would have noticed before. Without performing the operation on Charlie, he would had always seen her as a teacher

When Charlie was intelligent he often got irritated at the doctors because they weren’t as smart as him. He had also dealt with a lot of emotion with Miss Kinnian, Charlie was in love with Miss Kinnian. When he regressed, he was embarrassed to see her because he thought she would think he was dumb. When Charlie was at a diner, he saw a kid with disabilities, and everyone was laughing at him and so was Charlie. He was upset with himself that he laughed at him because that kid was him before he had the surgery to make him smart.

The surgery was worth the experience because it helped him contribute to the world of science. He contributed by desperately wanting to be in the experiment and wanting to make discoveries, “I hope they use me. Miss Kinnian says maybe they can make me smart. I want to be smart.” (Keyes190). He was the first human to really want to contribute to this experiment. Just by getting the surgery he helped science. Without Charlie they couldn’t have gotten the results and shown

Miss Kinnian was Charlie Gordon's teacher before the operation. She was very kind to Charlie and realized how much potential he had to become smarter. When Charlie had the operation, it took time for Charlie to become smarter. As days passed Charlie became smarter and smarter. Charlie soon became so smart he did not attend Miss Kinnian's class. Although he was not in her class anymore, Charlie felt strongly for Alice, and Alice soon felt the same for Charlie. One evening when they went out for coffee Alice told Charlie that she did not want their relationship to get in the way of his learning and did not think they should see each other anymore. This was the start of a great deal of argument. Charlie then bought his own apartment. Next door lived an artist named Fay Lillman. Charlie and Fay became friends. Fay was unaware of Charlie's operation and believed he was always that smart. When Charlie's operation deteriorated so did their relationship. Fay no longer wanted to see Charlie because Charlie was not a normal man, but a mentally handy cap man. Although Charlie and Alice argued a great deal, Alice still loved him and stayed by his side in the times he needed her most. As soon as Alice heard that Charlie was deteriorating, she went to Charlie's apartment and stayed with him, until he kicked her out. Alice was the only true friend Charlie

People treat charly disrespectfully because of his disability and they get away with it because charly does not understand what they mean by you pulled a charly gordon. When charlie gets smarter he begins to understand what's going on and what it means. Charlie got mad at them and himself because of this. He understands why he is like this and he rebels against it

Charlie's emotions swing throughout the story. At the beginning he is just a happy guy living life. Although his one desire is to become very smart. He is still just an average person that may not be as intelligent as the rest. I believe that Charlie is in fact more happy at the beginning of the book than after the operation.For example, in the text Charlie Gordon is upset after the operation because he does not see a significant difference in his intelligence level, he says, "Nothing is happening. I had lots of races and different kinds of tests with Algernon. I hate that mouse." This shows that Charlie is upset about Algernon and all the tests he has to go through, he feels as if he is not making any progress. Although he reaches his goal
