Well, if you had to choose someone it would have to be Charlie, but I think Charlie is more just the main character than a hero in most senses. He clearly changes, but he doesn't make many big decisions, most of his decisions being made for him by his condition/ pills. I think Flowers for Algernon is more about the idea of getting smarter rather than any particular individual.
Reply:I love that book. I think Charlie Gordon would be a good hero because he was unafraid to leap into the unknown (the operation that made him smart.)
