Flowers for Algernon In the 56 years since publication of Flowers for Algernon, the treatment of individuals with mental disabilities has dramatically changed in several ways. For example, the use of the term "mental retardation," which was acceptable in and out of Psychology when the novel was published, is now unacceptable and replaced by such terms as "intellectual disability" and "mentally disabled." This is due, in large part, to growing sensitivity about the effects of negative terms and the inherent dignity of mentally disabled individuals. The novel itself is both tragic and inspiring, showing us a tragic man who endures great gains and losses intellectually, as well as the painful realization that his coworker "friends" are actually quite mean and unfriendly toward him. Simultaneously, the novel presents an inspirational story in which a learning disabled man experiences universal events, emotions and thoughts, such as honesty, joy, deceit, anger, fear, loneliness and friendship. Charlie's experiences can lead a thoughtful reader ask enduring questions about the very nature of Human Nature, belonging, alienation, respect and disrespect, science vs. ethics, the importance of intelligence, happiness and love. Finally, by presenting a story through the unique perspective of this man, who lacks, gains and loses high intelligence, the novel makes definitive statements about the role of intelligence in life, both in its great impact in some areas and lack of impact in other areas.
