How have Charlie’s relationships with Dr. Nemur, Dr. Strauss, and Miss Kinnian changed since the start of the book. For each character, include an example from the text to show this change.

Over time, Charlie comes to see Dr. Nemur differently because of his increased intelligence and perception. Charlie comes to see Nemur as egotistical and ambitious.

Contrary to my earlier impressions of him, I realize that Dr. Nemur is not at all a genius. He has a very good mind, but it struggles under the spectre of self-doubt. He wants people to take him for a genius. Therefore, it is important for him to feel that his work is accepted by the world. I believe that Dr. Nemur was afraid of further delay because he worried that someone else might make a discovery along these lines and take the credit from him.

Unlike Dr. Nemur, Charlie sees Dr. Strauss as a genius, albeit, an uneducated genius. As Charlie's intelligence increases, he comes to understand that Strauss' intelligence has been limited by his studies, and he is surprised by it.

Dr. Strauss on the other hand might be called a genius, although I feel that his areas of knowledge are too limited. He was educated in the tradition of narrow specialization; the broader aspects of background were neglected far more than necessary-even for a neurosurgeon.
