  • The True Meaning Of Ender's Game By John Kessel

    John Kessel makes a few good points about Ender’s Game and the damaging effect it has on the readers. Kessel makes his stance clear and expresses four main points that Orson makes during his book: Ender is innocent and perfect, Training equals intent, intention is based on morality, and you do not have to worry about the families who were affected by the deaths of both the Stilson and Madrid boys. After reading the book myself, the points above seem to be valid and they seem to make up the book. Ender is “perfect”. Early in the book(not even past the first chapter), Andrew Wiggin beats up a little boy named Stilson and shows no mercy as it is later said that he kept beating him to the point of death.

As an unintended consequence, Valentine’s perception of Ender has significantly modified for the worse. “A very small, fragile boy who needed her protection. Not this cold-eyed, dark-skinned manling who kills wasps with his fingers.” Ender’s colossal character change essentially reveals what Card inevitably understood he would become: a clone of Peter’s daunting characteristics.

    Without the bugger war, Ender would not have been born, and he realizes this fact. Interestingly enough, the reader never directly see’s the war against the buggers. The only war ever seen directly is the other war that Ender fights every day – the war against the teachers games, against the other kids, against his fear of becoming his brother, against the instinct that drives Ender to hurt other people. Ender’s entire life is made up of these little battles. Ender finds his identity in the battles that he fights and the challenges that he over comes.
