We all perceive ourselves as the main character, and that leads some people to think bad accidents won't happen to them

So one of my favorite books is Ender's Game (fuck the author though). Which makes Ender the main charecter. But another one by him that I also really love is Ender's shadow. Where it takes on of the lesser characters and makes them the main charecter.

So, we all are the main character. Just depends on the perspective.

    I also love Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow. Shame about the authour. Point of view sequels are great. I've been reading a great fanfiction retelling the Harry Potter books from Hermione's point of view, six books are out so far

    There's a fun Harry Potter (fuck this author too) play, called Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic, tat is from the point of view of a random Hufflepuff student.

    That sounds fun. I've often wondered about the normal students at Hogwarts not involved in the action. I once read a Reddit post talking about the Frozen movies from the perspective of a random Arendelle citizen. Also, I agree, fuck Rowling.

    I think it's clear by the end of Ender's Game that Ender was never the main character (his realization of that drives a lot of his character development in the following books). And Bean is not really the main character in that part of the story either, just someone much smarter who better understands what's going on and who the real players are.
