Paper Summary:
This paper discusses the main theme of the novel which deals with an individual's struggle in a society that is governed by the idea of collectivism. It looks at the main character of Prometheus and how he initially rejects his individualism as a curse, through the events in the novel he comes to understand both the evil of the society and the power of the individual ego.From the Paper:
"The society in Anthem is one that is controlled by the World Council. The World Council yields power so great that it does not even allow people the opportunity to think. Consider Prometheus s words in the opening of the book, and the World Council is the body of all truth. The World Council s power is also shown in the motto that is painted on the wall of the Council, We are one in all and all in one. There are no men but only the great WE, One, indivisible and forever." We also see it in the Great Truth, that all men are one and that there is no will save the will of all men together.
