Childhood’s End Ch. 7-11

New Characters George Greggson: Television production designer; married to Jean Morrel, with two children Jeffrey and Jennifer; only real protagonist in the novel; passive observer: he witnesses the plans of the Overlords as would any “ordinary Joe” Jean: “Primary Contact” - could be channel that Overlords are interested in Rupert Boyce: “supervet” who throws party at which guests play Ouija board and Jean makes contact; interested in paranormal psychology Rashaverak: Overlord at Rupert’s party who witnesses Jean’s contact; keeps an eye on Jan Rodricks

Jan Rodricks Young man interested in space exploration and astronomy Suspicious of Overlords’ plans - dissatisfied with the utopia created on earth Represents mankind’s inability to be satisfied or content Jan believes the Overlords are abusing their technology to keep man from entering space

Technology = Power Overlords can do anything: spy everywhere on earth, project illusions of their ships and make them sound real, create sensation of pain without causing a wound, block out the sun, travel through space Even though they create a utopia on earth, the Overlords are still the ones determining what is “right”

The Purpose of Life Jan wants to know the purpose of humanity, if in fact the “stars are not for man” Without religion or drama (suffering), life loses its meaning for many Education and sports become ways in which humans deal with boredom
