What is the relationship between children and adults in Ender's game?

Answer 1

The relationship between the children and adults in Ender's Game is often seen as strained and unhealthy. In my opinion, the children are more capable and trustworthy. On the other hand, the adults are reliant on others and are not to be trusted. An example of this is when the adults trick Ender into committing "xenocide" on the buggers, making him believe that it was a simulation.

Answer 2

In "Ender's Game," children are trained as soldiers to fight in a war against an alien species. Adults manipulate and use the children for their own purposes, pushing them to their limits in the pursuit of victory. The children are isolated and forced to grow up quickly, blurring the lines between childhood and adulthood.
