As the procedure works, Charlie's intelligence skyrockets, allowing him to understand complex concepts, learn multiple languages, and unlock memories of his past.
However, his newfound genius comes with a painful price. As Charlie becomes smarter, he realizes how he was previously mocked and mistreated by those around him. He also watches in horror as Algernon's intelligence begins to fade, a cruel sign that his own brilliant mind may be temporary.
