Paper Summary:

The Robots in Karel Capek's classic science fiction story R.U.R. are mass-produced in great numbers in order to provide efficient labor for all of human society, but that society is deeply flawed and dysfunctional because the importance of love has been forgotten and the meaning of life has thus been lost. Reading and analyzing this compelling story reveals that the vital importance of love is the ultimate theme of R.U.R., for the absence of love destroys human society and demonstrates that love must be the foundation of the new Robot society. This moral lesson is emphasized in a memorable final scene, for when two Robots, Primus and Helena, fall in love and are christened Adam and Eve by the last survivor of the human race, the foundational role, meaning, and power of love are rediscovered and acknowledged, and love is established as the basis of Robot society.
