In Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game, the character Peter Wiggin is a very complicated individual who experiences a lot of character development throughout the novel. He is an individual who is portrayed in this novel as an evil, yet intelligent and manipulative person that has the potential to be a great world leader with both positive and negative sides. At the beginning of the novel Peter is shown as an evil and cruel bully who was said to be murder at heart (Card 45) and he didn't like Ender as much as Ender likes him. He has a lot of attributes that a very social activist would have such as confidence, strength and manipulation. An example of Peter being a bully in his own home shows his potential that he is capable of doing something big

Peter is always violent he has a good heart but he never shows it. At the beginning of the book Peter had told Ender that they were playing a game called Astronauts and Boogers. When Peter the Astronaut had caught Under the Bugger then he had put his knee on his neck. While he was on top of Ender he told him that he could kill him and say it was an accident. But Valentine told him he would tell everyone it wasn’t an accident. Peter told her that he would kill her to and say it was an accident and they had kept arguing. Then after that night Peter had gotten out of bed and

2 major and reoccurring themes throughout Ender’s Game is manipulation and deception. Much of this novel is about how adults manipulate Ender into fulfilling their needs. They trick him, lie to him, and tell him just enough so that he can defeat the buggers. Ender pretty much sums this up when he says, “I've spent my life as someone's pawn" (Pg. 97). On one hand, it seems wrong to lie to and cheat a kid. On the other hand, the adults manipulate him to ensure the survival of the human race. Besides the manipulative relationship between the adults and Ender, there are a number of other relationships full of manipulation: Peter manipulates Valentine, Peter and Valentine manipulate the world, and

‘I am just like Peter,’” (Card 8). Ender´s realization “I am just like Peter” creates a sense of danger because Ender had attempted to dissociate himself from his brother in order to not turn into an aggressive person, for all of his life. Ender realizes that once they “Take [his] monitor away, and [He is] just like Peter”(Card 8). The readers are forced to feel the same sense of unknowingness that Ender feels with his newfound recognition. This creates a sense of danger because the reader likely desires to know what will happen now that Ender finally realizes he is just like his brother and is unsure of how to cope with that.

Ender's game essay BIn the novel “Ender's Game” by Orson Scott Card, Ender “the third” is supposed to be the balance between two extreme personalities, one being very altruistic,compassionate attributed to his sister Valentine,and the other being very cruel and heartless attributed to his brother Peter. By the end of the novel Ender's personality is more like Valentine. This is shown by the empathy he always shows towards others,and how he constantly reasses his character to make sure he doesn’t take on the attributes of Peter.

An example of this is in the first chapter "I am just like Peter.

He becomes so reckless he doesn’t even realize he’s hurting someone until after they are on the floor, “It took Ender by surprise he hadn’t thought to put Stilson on the ground with one kick” (7). What Ender doesn’t realize is that he doesn’t even comprehend what's going around him until he see’s the damage. Just like Peter, Ender never leaves anyone without any pain when they are angered. Filled with hatred towards Ender, Peter never leaves a chance to physically hurt Ender, he hurts him so much that Ender repeats the same anger and ruthlessness towards others.Funny thing is that even Ender knows that he has Peter in him and that in reality, he’s not really the innocent kid his sister and family thinks he

One reason why this is true is because Peter and Ender are working with two different commanders. Peter is commanding with. And Ender is commanding with Graff and soon became a commander himself.

And when he died, Ender wrote a second volume, again signed by the Speaker of the Dead” (Card 323). Moreover, Ender also chose to forgive the Buggers. Even though they were enemies, Ender tried to make peace, “And always Ender carried with him a dry white cocoon, looking for the world where the hive-queen could awaken and thrive in peace. He looked a long time” (Card 324). Ender worked to repay the Buggers since he had destroyed their entire species. He was able to forgive the buggers for attacking Earth and kept the Bugger’s civilization going, and was also able to forgive Peter for treating him and Valentine so
