With Valentine in the role of the ego, Ender becomes the super-ego. Valentine views Ender as a strong moral character, and while Ender does not agree, all the sins he commits are done under extreme duress, followed by extreme guilt. Despite the violence Ender engages in on several occasions, he, unlike Peter, is rarely eluded to as a monster.

The people in charge of Ender say that “he’s clean,” that he’s a good person, “right to the heart” (Card 66).

In All the Bright Places, Theodore Finch’s internal conflict leads to self destruction and ultimately to the emotional ruin of Violet, his girlfriend and character opposite. At the start, their opposite traits prove the scientific principle of opposing polarities being drawn to each other: positives attract negatives and vice-versa, but as the novel progresses it becomes apparent that their differences actually push them away from each other rather than bring them together. Opposite character personalities may attract each other, but essentially they create tension and problems. From the moment Violet first meets Finch, something about him captures her attention.

As for what kind of character I believe Ralph is, I believe he is a dynamic character because he does change in his physical appearance(being
