I see a reflection of myself when analyzing the character Lena Tiddle, from Delirium by Lauren Oliver. Although Lena lives in a dystopian society while I do not, we run parallel with many traits that we each inhabit, socially and mentally. First of all, mentally we are both slightly fearful. While the mental fear that I hold is not as extreme as the fear Lena holds, it is a trait that bonds the two of us. Lena’s mental fearfulness is exemplified through her need to constantly feel protected and shielded from things outside of her comfort zone. Lena thinks and acts logically instead of foolishly and stays inside her own bubble. I myself relate to Lena in this sense of fearfulness. I, too, am not extremely brave in situations where I feel endangered
