    John Wyndham has expressed this theme through the characters in this story. David is one of the major characters that have experienced change. He went from an innocent little boy to a young adult. In the beginning of the story, David had a chance to reflect on his childhood. It occurred when David met six-toed Sophie and realized people with deviations are not monsters. “I was a normal boy, growing up in a normal way, taking the ways of the world for granted”(Wyndham 6). This was important because David was a deviant himself. He could see thought pictures sent by others, such as his cousin Rosalind. This expresses that David is not normal. From here on, David became strong. Once his sister Petra was born, he started to go through another stage of change. While on the run away from Waknuk, David had a parent-like relationship with Petra and his love for Rosalind was developing. He had to protect them from the people pursuing them from Waknuk and the people from the Fringes. Especially, David needs to protect…
