Paper Summary:

This brief paper examines the tone of individualism, which is expressed through imagery and word choice in the book, "Anthem," by Ayn Rand. The paper also refers to issues of individualism from everyday life, such as man versus government and man versus society.

From the Paper:

"With this dictating system, morals and ethics are recessive qualities that men do not even know exist. Rand expresses the Deep Loss of Moral Rights Imagery through the basic system in which the people live, for they are "one" in all and "all" in one (RAND 19). This explains that there are "no men" but only the great "WE," which ironically happens to be "one" and "indivisible" (RAND 19). Everyone views everyone as a whole: no individualism, conceited perspectives, or even self-pride."
