A system of monstrous tyranny holds individuality captive making true happiness rare. When one is muted by society’s harsh regulations, they suffer internally and conceal a range of emotions. In the novella Anthem, Ayn Rand creates a character named Equality who feels tremendous sorrow for the way his life is, but will eventually locate the power behind his own voice.

He once was weak and incapable of confidently following his aspirations. He saw he his potential to be an innovator as a sin instead of as extraordinary. He continues to follow instead of leading until he triumphantly discovered the light which will make his hunger for knowledge increase. When him and his invention is dismissed by the World Council of Scholars he doesn’t drown in sadness, but rises up and is determined to prosper. Equality is too powerful as an individual and mentally strong to discontinue his journey. In the “Soul of an Individualist”, Rand writes of a man being “self-sufficient,” “self-motivated,” and “self-generated” (“Soul of an Individualist” 2).

They influence actions done in order to achieve them. Notably, Equality’s strong will to create his own path alone lead to his victory.
