Ari Henson
Eleven as an Egoist
(Or, for people whove seen the show, an eggoist).
An example of this is when she steals eggos from the store mid-season and
breaks their windows, or when she throws Lucas in the field by the bus
because he had confronted her for her mysteriousness and lack of
explanation for most of her actions and whereabouts. She didnt throw him to
hurt him necessarily, but more to protect herself because he was scaring and
threatening her.
Eleven as an Altruist
By the end of season one, eleven is
very different then how she was at
the beginning. She begins to make
different decisions than she originally would
have, and eventually becomes selfless. She focuses on protecting the people
she cares about rather than herself.
Examples of this is when she throws the van with abilities, when she saves Mike
from falling, or *Spoiler Alert* at the end when she sacrifices herself to save
everyone from the monster.
