However‚ it is not simply a “trivial comedy‚” as its title proposes‚ but also a cutting satire appraising the conventions of Victorian society‚ chiefly the upper class.

Sometimes I feel shy around people‚ not wanting to socialize; I tend to stick around people I know.

Passivity Vs. Passion The Perks of Being a Wallflower is by no means a typical narrative. Taking the form of an epistolary novel presented as a series of letters from a boy who calls himself Charlie‚ but notes that he will change names and minor details so for the sake of his anonymity‚ the short novel tackles themes such as pedophilia‚ drug use‚ depression‚ abortion and many more complex issues. Stuck in the middle of the mix is a young boy who certainly is not the archetypal protagonist‚ the
