No longer confident or trusting, Ender becomes a shell of a human due to the loneliness and isolation he endured.
On Earth there was a bully named, Stilson. Ender found himself getting physically abused by him daily and when he finally got his opportunity, he made sure he was never bullied again.

In argument with Major Anderson, Graff states, “Ender’s not a killer. He just wins--thoroughly” (226).

You have to understand how they think, how they act, and why they think the way that they do to develop a perfect strategy that, when executed, will leave you winning in the end.
