In the sense that his IQ plummets to even lower than it was previously. But he does not physically die, rather checks himself into the Warren State Home so that he doesn't have to endure anyone's pity.

what happens is he still goes to his job and everything he just is going to die sooner or later i like being annoying but that answers it though

What is the Exposition for Flowers for Algernon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is showing how the mentally handicapped are treated in society, and giving a brilliant insight into how the mentally handicapped themselves view their situation.

It uses the premise of a surgery that triples intelligence to show this. A young man, Charlie Gordon, keeps a journal of his progress before and after the surgery.

Thus the whole book is allegedly just his journal, and the first chapters have words spelled wrong and grammatical and conceptual errors. As his intelligence grows, the writings get progressively better, and he writes of his re-evaluation of how he perceived those who he thought were friends, but were not.

It is a brilliantly beautiful book, well worth reading.
