Am I the only one who thinks we should split this article into two pieces, one for each Peter? They REALLY aren't the same person, even if they have the same name... Maratanos 22:57, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
It seems to me that the large paragraph is poorly written and contains too many personal pronouns
I am about to edit the opening statement:
"In the science fiction story Ender's Game and its sequels, Peter Wiggin is Ender's (or Andrew's) older brother. They and their sister, Valentine, are extremely intelligent and precocious. The three siblings represent ideals; Peter is ruthless and cruel, Valentine is empathic and kind, and in Ender, the traits are balanced."
Card has mentioned numerous times in interviews that he is not trying to convey ideals through his book. He has explicitly rejected the idea that they represent anything other than what they are. There is no need to say that they "represent ideals" here. Additionally, Peter is only Ruthless and Cruel in the first book. It should say:
"In the science fiction story Ender's Game and its sequels, Peter Wiggin is Ender or Andrew Wiggin's older brother. They and their sister, Valentine, are extremely intelligent and precocious. At first, Peter is ruthless and cruel, while Valentine is empathic and kind. Ender has more balanced traits, at least in the view of the IF (International Fleet)"
