Flowers For Algernon Movie Analysis

Flowers for Algernon and Charly have many differences and similarities, but they both portray the same idea of a man going through surgery and being smart afterwards. The man then realizes it isn't permanent. Although, the movie has a different ending than the story. To begin with, the man is named Charlie. He works at a box/dough company and thinks his co-workers are his friends.

He studies in a class taught by Miss Kinnian, and she notices Charlie's struggles but also sees his determination. She asks Charlie if she could visit his house, and he complies. She notices again how hard he works to learn, and when the time arises, he gets tested by two doctors, Dr. Strauss and Dr. Nemur, to see if they will use him in their experiment.

Charlie is also shown rejecting Miss Kinnian's question if he was to marry her. Some similarities include the obvious same main idea and characters, though one doctor is male and one is female in the movie. Another would be the death of Algernon and the tests with Charlie.
