Enoch O'Connor is a fictional character in the Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children series by Ransom Riggs. He is one of the peculiar children living under the care of Miss Alma LeFay Peregrine in a time loop set on September 3, 1943, on the fictional Welsh island of Cairnholm. Character Overview Enoch possesses the peculiarity of being able to temporarily bring the dead back to life and animate inanimate objects by using the hearts (or other vital organs) of living beings. This ability manifests in various ways throughout the series, often involving the creation of temporary "homunculi" or reanimated corpses that he can control. He is depicted as a somewhat morose and cynical teenager, often preferring the company of his creations to the other children. Despite his initial standoffishness, he shows moments of loyalty and bravery towards his friends. He has a particular talent for crafting intricate and sometimes unsettling figures which he then animates. Role in the Series Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children Enoch is introduced as one of the residents of Miss Peregrine's home. His ability is demonstrated when he briefly reanimates a dead sheep to provide information. He is initially wary of the newcomer, Jacob Portman, but eventually becomes part of the group that leaves the loop to confront the hollowgast and wights. Subsequent Books Throughout the subsequent books in the series (Hollow City, Library of Souls, A Map of Days, The Conference of the Birds, and The Desolations of Devil's Acre), Enoch's ability proves crucial in various situations. He uses his powers for defense, reconnaissance, and even attempts to communicate with the deceased. His relationships with the other peculiar children, particularly Olive Abroholos Elephanta, develop over the course of the series. He grapples with the ethical implications of his peculiarity and its limitations. Portrayal in Other Media Film Adaptation Enoch O'Connor is portrayed by Finlay MacMillan in the 2016 film adaptation, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, directed by Tim Burton. In the film, his peculiarity is similar to that in the books, and he plays a role in the children's defense against the wights. Reception Enoch O'Connor has been a notable supporting character in the Miss Peregrine's series, with his unique and somewhat macabre peculiarity setting him apart. His character arc involves a gradual opening up to others and a willingness to use his powers for the greater good of his friends and the peculiar world.
