In Southern Italy in 1978, Niccolo Ammaniti’s novel I’m Not Scared is narrated by a 31 year old Michele Amitrano who tells us the readers a story which depicts a sense of his own ethical struggles and steady move towards good in the face of evil. Through experiences, the characters values through the book are disintegrated through fear, whereas Michele rose above his fears. Michele manages to do a whole lot better in ethical terms than the adults in Acqua traverse; the adults behave criminally because they are blinded by the hope of material gain. Despite Michele’s age, naivety and fears his compassion and natural sense of what is right and wrong is preposterous.

Michele's compassion is his most prominent characteristic that makes him appealing to the reader. Throughout the novel, he exhibits empathy well beyond his years, often making readers forget that he is just nine. This can be seen clearly in three main instances. First, when he goes after his sister when she has fallen over (pg. 4) despite his own fears.
