Sins and Transgressions to Success and Progress In Ayn Rand’s Anthem, the main character is brought up into a society where individualism is never an option. In secret, this character broke these laws and constantly made what was called “transgressions” to the book’s authority figures. Near the books closing he states “Why the best in me had been my sins and my transgressions; and why I had never felt guilt in my sins.” Prometheus has came to understand that he was different and that his sins gave him his happy ending. For being different it made those around him believe that It was indeed sinful. From the beginning, and his point of view you feel the sense of how unique Equality is from his brothers. His physical features, such as the way he walks or his height, making him what the Council believed “evil”. For example, he thinks of studying things and taking that knowledge into creating something, like so with the light bulb. His sins also give him a “twinkle” or spark in his eyes that isolate him from his “dull-eyed” brethren. For if his wrong doings didn’t give Equality that passion in his eyes he may have never been noticed by The Golden One. …show more content…

    In the beginning of ‘Anthem’, Equality 7-2521 was talking about how he was scorned upon knowing more than he should.

    Anthem is a story of man’s struggle to be free and to fight the masses of conformity. It tells of human nature and the want to gain all the knowledge that one could possibly attain. Man loses his safe haven and his security when he lets this lust for knowledge overpower him and lets it be seen by others.

    Many teenagers in the present like the book genre dystopian. Dystopian can show how life can evolve in dark ways. “Anthem,” by Ayn Rand can be relatable to teens in many different ways. School can resemble dystopian by forcing students into things they cannot do or things they don’t want to, it also limits how much they can express themselves whether it make clothing, hair, or word choice. Another example would be parents. Parents can set high standards pressuring oneself like expecting their child to get complete A’s, do activities, have a social life, do chores, do homework, and go to bed a reasonable time. During this they can also suppress their children. The novels “Anthem” by Ayn Rand, “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury, and “Maze Runner”…

But in then again, the government is corrupt with power and they do not want anyone to be as smart or smarter than them or they will get overthrown by the people. So they had to create laws that are unfair and make it like a dictatorship. Since Equality was little he never got along with his “Brothers” or his teachers. He would get in trouble for being too smart. That is why he said he has a curse in the beginning of the book. Now he realizes that he has to do something about his society.

    “You have to find what sparks a light in you so that you in your own way can illuminate the world.” Oprah Winfrey often speaks about finding your own path and not allowing others to dictate your life. The story of Anthem by Ayn Rand, is the exact opposite of what Oprah stands for. Rand tells the story of a young man named Equality 7-2521, it being written from his point of view. Equality has shown to commit many “sins” throughout the course of his life. He feels as though what the council decides of his fate is a punishment for his sins, of which he is grateful. However, Equality soon wants to prove that he is scholar worthy, and that he should be promoted. He is led by the word “ego,” his thoughts and actions are to often better himself rather than the group of individuals. For this Equality has been shown to be an individual in his quest to learn for himself, as well as his need to improve his understanding of the world.…

    The council nurtured the people of this city when they were young to say ‘we’ instead of ‘I’, so when Prometheus spoke, he referred to we instead of I. “We did this work alone… We look upon Earth.” The use of the word ‘’we’’ shows equality to such a degree that people in this society have to regard themselves part of the society while talking about themselves, displaying that the council is trying to dispose of any form of individuality. After Prometheus discovers ‘I’ and its value, he begins to speak using I in his sentences like “I will, I am, I think.” The choice of the letter I while everyone else is saying we is helping us understand that Prometheus’s individuality is greater than society’s laws, and because of this, he has decided to raise his sons to fight against the corrupted city in the far future. Even though Prometheus actions are showcasing that he likes the city in the introduction of the book, it is clear that he doesn’t respect the city through his quotes of him saying sentences like “my brothers, for their minds are shackled into the weakest and dullest ones amongst them.” Prometheus’s lack of positive words exhibits that the city is dysfunctional because of the lack of individuality, so much so that people tried revolting against this defective community. Through the words chosen to help us understand that individuality is important, we can see why Ayn Rand includes diction to convey her thoughts.…

    Equal rights have always been a major issue and dispute. Analysing the role of women in the Elizabethan Era, through Shakespeare’s representation in Romeo and Juliet, and comparing them to the role of women in the 21st century, will help to demonstrate that equality of the sexes has been achieved, and come a long way in the past 400 years. Three ways in which equality of the sexes has been achieved is the role of a married, and unmarried woman, and roles of women in society.…

    Both genders during the Victorian and Edwardian Ages were molded into two spheres of expectations and opportunities defined solely by their sex, male and female. In the words of Austen “Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree; the pen has been in their hands.” Men were thought to be the highest of the hierarchy, while women were made from “the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man”. “True Women” possessed the four cardinal virtues of piety, purity, domesticity, and submissiveness. Women, however, were not content to stay in this mold of domesticity within the grasps of the four virtues. Instead, some women of this…

    Gender Inequality

    • 922 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Gender equality was a dilemma in the past as well. In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, inequality is shown towards Hester Prynne. The main themes of the novel are sin, knowledge, and human condition. Hester committed a sin of adultery and for that she was punished. “On the breast of her gown, in fine red cloth surrounded with an elaborate embroidery and fantastic flourishes of gold thread appeared the letter “A”.” (Hawthorne 60). Hester and her daughter, Pearl will be abashed for the rest of their lives. The fact of the matter is that Hester is being punished but there is another part of the equation not being penalized, the father of Pearl. Which in the end of the novel we figure out is Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale. Hester is a symbol of this time period, a mother. A mother during this time is supposed to be a stay at home mother and be loyal to her husband. Hester came to America without her husband Roger Chillingworth, and had an affair with Dimmesdale, and Pearl was the result. Because Hester is the woman she is put to blame. Women in this time didn’t have nearly as many rights as men, this happens in today’s world all of the time and it is no longer considered a sin at least in America. This is an illustration of gender dissimilarity of this era.…
