That to show the rat first than Charlie
The two doctors in "Flowers for Algernon" were Dr. Strauss and Dr. Nemur. They were the ones who conducted the experimental surgery to increase the intelligence of the main character, Charlie Gordon.
The two doctors, Dr. Strauss and Dr. Nemur, fought in "Flowers for Algernon" due to conflicting perspectives on Charlie's intelligence-boosting surgery. Dr. Nemur was driven by his desire for acclaim and recognition, while Dr. Strauss prioritized Charlie's well-being and emotional development. Their differing motives and attitudes led to a clash over how to handle Charlie's treatment and future.
Some parallel episodes include: Charlie racing Algernon through a maze Charlie's "friends" taking him out for drinks Charlie taking "inkblot tests" Charlie's feelings toward Dr. Strauss & Dr. Nemur Hope these helped. :)
"Dr. Nemur said Dr. Strauss was nothing but an opportunist trying to ride to glory on his coattails." Riding on someone's coattail means to not put in any work and take credit for the work done by others.
Meaning full relationships with his friends at his bakery, Alice, Straus, Nemur, and Fay.
Dr.strauss is more other scented than Dr .Nemur ,Dr.Nemur works for the fame and fortune and Dr.Strauss works for the benefit of society . Also they both have different views on the aim of the operation.
The main characters in "Flowers for Algernon" are Charlie Gordon, an intellectually disabled man who undergoes an experimental surgery to increase his intelligence, and Algernon, a laboratory mouse who has already undergone the same surgery. Other significant characters include Dr. Strauss and Professor Nemur, the scientists who perform the surgery on Charlie.
Page 153 - Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes: "It's paradoxical than an ordinary man like Nemur presumes to devote himself to making other people geniuses."
Charlie is asked to keep progress reports by Dr. Strauss and Professor Nemur, who are overseeing his participation in the experimental surgery to increase his intelligence.
Charlie begins to realize that Dr. Nemur and Dr. Strauss may not have his best interests at heart during his operation. He notices that they are more interested in the scientific advancements they can achieve through his surgery rather than his personal well-being and emotional growth. This realization leads Charlie to question their motivations and the ethics of their experiment.
When Hilda is alluding Adam and Eve to Charlie's operation, she is directly opposing the experiment. "Hilda’s comment that Strauss and Nemur are overstepping their moral boundaries alludes to the biblical tale of Adam and Eve, and God’s punishment of the couple for eating the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. The sin of Adam is an important metaphor for Charlie’s situation in the novel—like Adam, Charlie yearns for knowledge but can only attain it by unnatural means without understanding the consequences. After eating the fruit, Adam and Eve lose their innocence, experience a sexual awakening, and are forced to enter the world outside the Garden of Eden. By drawing a parallel to this story, Keyes foreshadows the fate that awaits Charlie." -Sparknotes
Charlie has issues with Dr. Strauss and Dr. Nemur because he feels that they view him as an experiment rather than as a human being. They treat him as a subject to be studied and improved upon, rather than valuing his emotional well-being. Their relationship with Charlie is primarily professional, with the doctors seeing him as a project to enhance their own careers.
