In Shirley Jackson's short story "Charles," the main theme revolves around a mischievous kindergarten boy named Charles, who is constantly getting into trouble at school. While the story offers insight into the behavior of children and the challenges of parenthood, it fails to connect with Catholic social teachings on Rights and Responsibilities. The Catholic Church emphasizes the importance of recognizing and respecting the rights of others while also fulfilling our responsibilities towards them. However, in "Charles," the titular character's disruptive and disrespectful behavior towards his teachers and classmates is not addressed or corrected. Rather than promoting empathy, understanding, and accountability, the story seems to glorify Charles' behavior, ultimately missing the opportunity to convey important values advocated by Catholic social teachings.
