Flowers for Algernon

In "Flowers for Algernon," Charlie Gordon is an intellectually challenged man working as a janitor who yearns for acceptance and understanding. As the story opens, he grapples with a desire to improve himself and face the harsh reality of his limitations in a society that values intelligence. His response to the Rorschach test reveals his naivety and struggle with self-awareness. The phrase “caught telling lies” underscores his innocence and vulnerability. Charlie and Algernon, the lab mouse, share a bond over their transformative experiences and serve as reflections of human potential and despair.
