Charlie Character Analysis

Charlie started off as a nice man who people liked. People took advantage of his soft personality. Being mentally disabled Charlie was oblivious to the cruel ways his “friends” treated him. Charlie was suggested to Professor Nemur from Alice Kinean. Charlie was eager to learn and of course wanted the surgery to increase his intelligence. Through the surgery charlie was frustrated and had to watch videos he didn't like, over a few weeks Charlie started to lose hope and get discouraged. Once Charlie's intelligence started to increase through his writing, speaking, and knowledge he began to feel alone and his personality shifted from being nice and oblivious, to noticing how he's been treated and shuts people out of his life. At the same time he starts to experience feelings for Alice.
Charlies knowledge increases so much he begins to notice things. As Nemur speaks Charlie sees that he is smarter than Nemur and thinks of him as a fraud. Charlie can’t relate with anyone anymore. He is on such a high level the situation changed from Charlie not able to understand anyone, to people not being able to relate and understand Charlies high vocabulary and level of thinking. Then towards the end of the story charlie starts to lose his high level of intelligence. I think when Charlie returns to his natural state of being mentally disabled there will still be differences in his personality. Charlie experienced the real world and I think the way it affected him will stay with him. Such as, being a little more stubborn. Charlie goes through a full circle in the story as he started out mentally disabled, then he slowly gained intelligence, next he got super smart, finally he went downhill until he was mentally disabled
