However, this is much like Equality’s society in Anthem. In his world, all men and women were taught that individuality is wrong and that they were only to consider themselves as a whole. But why do these exist? These rules exist because people had become too obsessed with equality. For example, in the text it states, “We are one in all and all in one. There are no men but only the great WE, One indivisible and forever” (Rand 19). This shows that because people feared a society where people did not consider others before themselves, they forced a new one where no one was considered a single person, but as one whole. So, they were controlled and brainwashed to only listen and follow directions. Which means, that they were not allowed to love anything more than their brothers did, so there were no interests, hobbies, or things that they just loved
