In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is a term used to describe how such irrelevant details can drastically change future events. The butterfly effect is a way of describing how, unless all other factors can be accounted for, large systems such as weather remains impossible to predict with total accuracy because of the countless unknown variables. Any complicated system may be vulnerable to drastic change due to small details being added or erased. For example, a math equation has one answer. Add one extra variable into the equation, and the entire solution has changed, just as well if you were to take one variable out. In this essay, I will be using the butterfly effect theory to explain how events will be altered when one characteristic is taken out of the main character, after first identifying four of his characteristics and showing how it supports the development of the story as well as his character.

He cares for his mother and his two sisters who are all mature adults. He also cares for his father and his father’s wife, though he shares no blood with his stepmother. “ Since
