The Explicative Philosophy Of Equality 7-2521's Sin

The Explicative Philosophy of Equality 7-2521’s Sin Equality 7-2521’s initial assessment that his mind was saturated with sin, was an incessant and learned ideology. In fact, it was the nucleus of his entire being. In the novella, Anthem, there was a single moral principle that all humans lived by; All are equal ––anything or anyone who does not follow this principle was a transgressor.

He also wanted to go the Home of Scientists––thus–– wanting for himself was a sin. The occupation he received was Street Sweeper, and while receiving his occupation he quotes that, “And we looked straight into the eyes of Council, but their eyes were as cold as glass buttons.” (Rand 26) it was here the objective of the council was apparent; despite the obvious aptitude Equality had, the goal was not to have qualified scientists, but to just maintain a stationary society––maintaining collectivism, with no intentions of improving. Henceforth the deliberate sabotage of him and the …show more content…
His teacher’s sensed this and instead of encouraging him––they punished him. As the idea of the stationary society’s law called for them to do. The act of punishing him did not smother his internal fire, instead it inadvertently perpetuated it by forcing him to mask his extraordinariness, for so long. He would go as far as acting like his fellow brother who had half of a brain, and had seizures. It was irrefutable that he acted out–– the obscure impending was watching him, and knew this.
