Flowers for Algernon Literary Conflict
Storyboard-Text
- MAN vs MAN
- There was something in you before: a warmth, and openness, a kindness that made everyone like you. Now...
- MAN vs SELF
- Pulling a Charlie Gordon again, huh, Charlie?
- MAN vs SOCIETY
- Charlie and Alice quarrel with one another when she finally becomes angry with the change in Charlie’s attitude. She tells him that he has changed and he’s lost the qualities that used to make him likeable. Charlie responds in anger because he feels like everyone expects him to stay the same so they can continue to treat him with cruelty.
- Charlie feels like he is being watched by “Charlie,” a disassociated version of himself. He says that you can’t put up a new building without destroying the old one, and the older version of Charlie interrupts his thoughts and comes between the relationships and experiences he’s trying to understand.
- The workers at the bakery treat Charlie differently before and after the surgery. Before, Joe, Frank, and Gimpy tease Charlie viciously and see him as a target for their pranks and jokes. Once Charlie’s intelligence increases, they begin to fear him because they don’t understand the change. They stop talking to him and become openly hostile towards him.
