Stay With Your Brother In Ayn Rand's Anthem

“To be free, a man must be free of his brothers.” How does this quote exemplify a theme of anthem?

In the story Anthem there is a man that is named Equality 7-2521 that was in this city full of just guys and he had to call myself we when he would talk about himself because in the city he is in, no one is better than anyone else. He got out of the city and found out something.

What it means by “to be free, a man must be free of his brothers.” That if you stay with your brother, you will be in the evil of the city, If the people of the city seen that then they would leave, but they don’t so they don’t see what the city is really doing to them. But there is one man that finds out that he need to get out. The man name is Equality 7-2521. He gets out and sees that what they were doing was making him weak and then he sees that he needed to get away from his brothers to be free.
Your brothers are holding you back from what you really can do. This exemplifies the story by telling us we need to see that you stay with the group then you never see what you can truly do and the true you. It makes the story unique by making us see that most of us are taken by the evil this city has and makes it where we can’t see who we truly are and what we can truly do with the thing that have been given to
