Anthem a dystopian world
Why is Anthem a dystopian world? A dystopian world is a world in which an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one. Ayn Rand’s novel Anthem demonstrates dystopian novels because the citizens of the society worship a figurehead or concept, citizens have fear of the outside world, and the natural world is banished and distrusted.
Anthem society demonstrates that they worship a concept because when they have to go to sleep they have to repeat a phrase in which it says, “ We are nothing. Mankind is all. By the grace of our brothers are we allowed our lives. We exist through, by and for our brothers who are the State. Amen,” on (pg.17-18). The people in Anthem show that they don’t think for their selves because it is demonstrated through out what they say in the prayer. They worship the lives of their brothers because they say that by the grace of their brothers they’re allowed their lives. The people in Anthem are taught that because of their brother they live. The citizens of Anthem don’t only worship a concept or figurehead but they also have fear of the outside world. The people in Anthem are afraid of the outside world because they say, “ We do not which to look upon the Uncharted Forest. We do not wish to think of it” on (pg.64). The people in Anthem are afraid of the outside world because they show it through them saying that they don’t wish to even think of it. The uncharted Forest for them stands guard of fearful secrets. They also say in the text on (pg.65) “ that men do not return. They perish from hunger and from the claws of the wild beasts which roam the forest.” I believe that they are afraid of the outside world for the same reason that they don’t think for their selves. For the people in Anthem the natural world is banished and distrusted. The natural world of Anthem is banished
