Interlude: Locke and Demosthenes Take Over the World
We’re Not So Different After All

Content: Although there are reasons why Peter might want to do that (Peter loves power), it’s much nicer than, you know, threatening to kill your siblings (15.86). So has Peter changed? Were we wrong about him at the start of the novel? ( And notice how Card keeps this uncertainty by never letting us hear what Peter thinks.) Meanwhile, Val uses her manipulative skills to make sure Ender can never go home to Earth. As she explains it (15.100), she’s still protecting Ender from Peter, but she’s doing so in a very manipulative way, swaying people the way she used to as Demosthenes. Previous Next
