In this series, Jake the dog and Finn the human go on numerous amounts of adventures. Finn may not be evil, but he is realistically portrayed as a normal human. He has his own faults, most notably the fact that he often acts like a jerk, especially to the series’ main villain, the Ice King. While the Ice King’s decisions are certainly questionable, he has innocent intentions as whole. Finn, however, is clearly a jerk to the Ice King. As misled as the Ice King is, he is never unreasonably mean. Yet Finn still harasses and hurts the Ice King. The Ice King is indeed a sad character; the Adventure Time Wikia page describes him as “merely a nuisance” and “misunderstood.” The Ice King even “expresses a continual zeal to spend time with anyone who will tolerate his company.” He closely reflects the stereotype of the “innocent but disliked” character, both in life and in fiction. Yet the Ice King is one of the, if not the, most disliked characters in the series. Finn essentially gains the protection of having the title of a “good guy” and being the protagonist in order to do and say whatever he wants to the Ice King. No matter what Finn does or says, he will always be seen as the good guy, be it his actions reflect that idea or not. While his mistreatment of the Ice King is most probably a play on irony by the creators, it is unlikely this comes across to

As Ralph, “the boy with fair hair” matured to the boy with “matted hair”, his perspective matured from haughty to compassionate. Early on, Ralph believes that “Piggy was an outsider, not only by accent, which did not matter, by fat, and ass-mar, and specs, and certain disinclination for manual labor”. He rejected Piggy’s “proffer of acquaintance”. He believed “this was [the children’s] island, [that] it was a good island”, that, “until the grown-ups come to fetch [them], [they] will have fun". However, by the end of the novel, Ralph understood that deep down the children fear the island, “the littluns, even some of the others, [talk and scream] as if it wasn’t a good island”. Empathy develops through experience and understanding of truth. Scout thought “Boo was about six-and-a-half feet tall, dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch”. At the beginning of the novels, Ralph nor Scout understood the true nature of Piggy or Boo. However, their respective experiences mean “the end of innocence”. Scout and Ralph begin to differentiate between empathy and authority, good and evil. Scout realizes “[Boo] was real nice, and most people are, when you finally see them”. Ralph recognizes the importance of his “true, wise friend called Piggy”. Yet concurrently, they see “the darkness of man’s heart”. Man discriminates even when doing so harms
