  • Abuse and Manipulation: An Analysis of Ender's Game

    1153 Words  | 3 Pages

    Through the entire story, we watch as Ender is manipulated and wronged by authority figures. He does not receive the love, affection and care that parents are supposed to deliver to their children. He is constantly being physically and mentally abused by his older brother and school bullies, yet no adult ever comes to his rescue. This pattern isn’t just apparent during his life on Earth because it continues and follows him as he moves on to battle school. A specific example of this can be seen as him and his launch group are making the journey to the school for the first time. During this trip Graft makes a show of telling all the other launchees how impressive Ender is, which results in him being repeatedly struck in the head. Not only does this authority figure fail to intervene and help Ender, but as the abuse continues Ender has a sudden realization. “Then it had become clear. Graft had deliberately caused it”(Card, 32). This example shows how someone who

    He uses a combination of Peter’s ruthlessness with Valentine’s compassion. “In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves” (Card 238). Ender reveals this to Valentine because it is the main reason why he despises himself. Ender first uses his method against Stilson after getting his chip removed. He realizes that with the way Stilson is, the only way to stop him is to cause enough pain to deter retaliation. Learning from his enemies does not only occur on Earth. While being rejected in Salamander Army, Ender studies the good and bad techniques in the battle room. Given that, Ender ultimately beats Bonso once he is in command of his own army. He continues to do this with every person and battle he comes into contact with, making him the best commander at

    One of the elements of isolation that leads to the loss of childhood is the hostile characters at the battle school, particularly Graff and Bonzo. Graff stands behind the action and makes things happen, while Bonzo is too rigid to see opportunities in front of him. Isolation towards Ender starts in the shuttle before they reach the Battle School. To prove this, Graff says “’I’ll have him completely separated from the rest of the boys by the time we get to school’” (Card, page 27). Ender expects Graff to be tough and pick on him, but instead he sets him up as the best by continuously bragging about him. This causes hatred of the other soldiers to grow towards Ender. Graff means to do that to make Ender stand out from the others and to make him into the best soldier. Ender’s isolation does not stop there, but it continues as he finally begins to get along with the Launchies and make friends: “’So as soon as he can cope with a situation, you move him to one he can’t cope with,’” (Card, page 66) says General Levy when he finds out Graff is transferring Ender to Salamander Army. This declares that Graff does not want Ender to get used to where he is and that he wants Ender to be able to handle everything that is thrown at him, which is a form of isolation. I...
