Flowers for Algernon The story. Flowers for Algernon, concerns Charlie, a mentally retarded man. and how his life interweaves with that of Algernon, an experimental mouse. Since an operation to increase Alger- non’s intelligence was successful, doc- tors felt that they would attempt to in- crease the intelligence of Charlie Gordon. The successful operation also opened up a new world of emotions for him. He discovered his first love, but he also had to deal with the tragic memories of his childhood. As Charlie approaches the peak of his intelligence, Algernon begins to regress. He fears the same will happen to him so he realizes he must find a flaw in the operation in order to save himself. In the end Algernon dies and Charlie realizes his end is near.
