Evolution And Revelation Of Bean's Character In Ender's Shadow

By the third chapter it turns out that Achilles will kill Poke.
             Bean is presented as a great psychoanalyst. His quick analysis of Achilles reveals his power of observation which turns out to be true. In the other hand, he accepts Achilles entering the crew but he does not believe him even before he kills Poke. Since Achilles started to get hold of the crew Bean focused on staying alive and staying in the shadow. "That's why Bean hung back, why he held his tongue and remained unobtrusive." (Card, 41) After seeing that Poke would not listen to his leadership ideas, Bean transformed from a vociferously adviser into a silent wise man. His flexibility to change like a chameleon was crucial to his survival. .
             At this point he is portrayed as self-interested rather than group oriented. This egocentrism could be as a result of his struggles to survive alone in the harsh environment. Even though he sees Achilles planning to kill Poke or any other potential leader in the crew he plays along with their plan to get food from the kitchen.
             Until the introduction of Sister Carlotta, Bean is presented as highly intelligent by the narrator. As a recruiter of the International Fleet she finds out that Bean is very intelligent and a born leader. "He's a born leader. But he does not meet your physical specifications." (Card, 56) Sister Carlotta also reveals that Bean might not be a human but a genetically engineered. This is the only part of the novel that narrative structure changes as Bean starts telling about his history to Sister Carlotta. This short part about his memory diverts the narrative structure and bewilders the narration as the memories are not clear and there are little relations with narrative structure in the other chapters. The fact that he might not be a human makes the story an obscurity because it is not clear how these babies are engineered and what kind of species are they. .
             The point when Sister Carlotta made it possible for Bean to attend the Battle School this marked an important turn in the plot.
