Sad and sweet. He had fallen in love with his teacher, but for reasons of his stunted emotional growth could not properly pursue the relationship, or when having it, consumate it.

What is the setting for 'Flowers for Algernon'?
It was published by Harcourt in 1966. It had been passed up by Doubleday, as they didn't want it unless it had a happy ending where Charlie kept his intelligence and married Alice! As the book has sold five million copies, all around the world, and been in continuous print for the past 44 years, spawning a movie, two TV shows, several musicals and plays and a couple of songs, that was probably a poor decision on their part! Yet another movie adaptation, starring Will Smith, should be out sometime this year.
Why is charlie and Alice's relationship so hard in flowers for Algernon?
If you know the plot of the story, you known that Charlie Gordon had been mentally retarded and then received an amazing experimental surgery which gave him not just normal intelligence but that of a genius. He had never learned any of the social graces however, so while his intellect was high, he was not certain how to express himself romantically. He fell in love with Alice, one of his teachers at the night school he had been attending, but their relationship was awkward: Alice knew about the surgery, and she could also see that Charlie had no idea how to have a "normal" relationship. Worse yet, his intelligence kept increasing, and soon he was far ahead of Alice, the woman he previously admired and looked up to. I am not going to spoil the ending, in case you haven't read it, but let's just say their relationship was doomed from the start, even if they both cared about each other.
