Back to Heidi

Core Belief

"Survival and comfort are the primary goals; change is to be resisted."

Worldview

Peter's worldview is shaped by his limited experiences and the harsh realities of his life as a goatherd. He is initially suspicious of outsiders and resistant to new ideas, but gradually learns to appreciate the value of friendship and education through Heidi's influence.

Personality

Peter is a simple, often sullen, and somewhat lazy boy who works as a goatherd. He is initially resistant to change and formal education, but gradually learns to appreciate the value of friendship and kindness through Heidi's influence. He is also prone to jealousy and acting out.

In Their Own Words

"As usual."
"I shall come again next Sunday, this day week, and my grandmother sent word that she would like you to come and see her some day."
"It is always like that."
