Looking at Contrast between Equality and the Council, by the end of the story, it’s found that their beliefs are close to polar opposites. For example, Equality values himself and his possessions over the need for ‘the best for the whole’ mentality much like his life under the Council along with their disagreement with the individual and making decisions by one’s self more so than what’s good for the city.
