someone, he thinks he is turning into Peter when in reality it was self defense. Peter’s power over Ender is immense but only in fear. I know fear turns into power, and that power can be over someone. Peter also manipulated Valentine to become Demosthenes, cause if she doesn’t, Peter will probably become the monster he was before Ender left. Fear is power, we know that. But without the fear you have control over what people’s actions do to the world, good or evil causes. Ender’s Game By…

Some characters seem to have more of one quality, but it is shown in Ender’s Game that both good and evil exist in everyone. It’s just their motivations, and whether they decide to act upon good or evil that decides who they are. Graff and Anderson are two characters that portray these traits.
