What is Ender's character development in "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card?

Answer 1

Enders Game Characters

Answer 2

From Orson's narrative style it may not seem that Ender's character changes much since he retains his nerdy boyish charm throughout the story. However, if you think about it, Ender goes from being a lowly "third" where he is hated by society, bullied throughout his primary school day and picked on by his older brother until (through help by others and his own creativity) he "matures" into a military general commanding the attention and respect of his troops. In fact, things go full circle here as all humanity comes to respect and love him. Then things shift again as Ender comes to respect his foe and seeks to preserve them from annihilation. He doesn't want to be responsible for the destruction of an entire civilization when his own civilization once didn't even want him to exist, being a "third."

This is an excellent book. You should read it now and read it again when you are older to see how the meaning changes as you get older. The other books in this series are also excellent.

Answer 3

I disagree with the person that said there is scant character development in Ender's Game. Ender is always changing. He's always learning. He learns from those around them, he incorporates their strengths, recognizes their weaknesses, and becomes almost an expert in predicting the moves of his enemies. He learns how to lead a team. He learns to be responsible. He learns how to teach. The gift of leadership and of teaching is invaluable. He learns that if you prove your excellence, people--even some of your enemies--will respect you.

Not only is Ender well developed as a character, I thought Peter and Valentine were well drawn as well. The relationships between these three siblings is so complicated...and so well done. They are a part of each other's lives...a part of each other's minds.

Answer 4

nicely, that's a question not certainly replied. he's continually manipulated by using others so he not in any respect truly does what he needs to do and he continually kills/hurts people yet he does want to. the purely way he develops is from a "follower" right into a frontrunner, yet i take advantage of the words as loosely as achievable. He also turns into extra acceptable at expertise and loving others. in simple terms seem on the workstation interest he performs, that sums it up truly nicely.

Answer 5

Not sure, probably taken a bit from Jesus. Orson did go to Seminary School.

I loved the whole series of books.

Answer 6

very inventive, engaging plot but scant character development. However, it still established Card as a major force in the science fiction and fantasy.
