In “The Ones Who Walked Away,” the citizens and residents in this city seem to be happy and enjoy their life in the Omelas. Their life is full of peace and happiness even though they know the real reason for their happiness and the cruelty behind it. In the Omela’s the people know of the existence of a child who is living under terrible circumstances but yet they still go on with their lives as if though nothing is happening. The reason for this is because an unknown character placed terms on the city of Omelas where if they express some sort of compassion to the child suffering, all of their happiness and prosperity will change to the total opposite. In the text it states that, “They (referring to the people of Omelas) would like to do something…

Atwood’s main argument explores the underlying complexities of social issues through the use of a variety of literary techniques. In the society of Oryx and Crake, unethical behaviour and the mistreatment of individuals have resulted in a collapse in society. Societal advancements and innovations no longer benefit the vast majority, but only the elite. By examining many issues such as these, Atwood brings views on morality into question. Drawing parallels to modern society, Atwood’s three main concerns are the negative side of globalization, the loss of a middle class, the negative side of globalization and excessive human exploitation for personal gain.…
The author of “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” criticizes our societies by comparing it to the citizens of Omelas whom lack aggression, embrace joy, and reject supreme control or prejudice. Unlike our societies, the people of Omelas avoid conflict and war. They were friendly and peaceful since, “They did not use swords… They were not barbarians.” Laws were not plentiful and police were not necessary due to this. The author portrays these traits as unusual which indirectly criticizes us. The author understands how countries and cities around the world are not as safe and peaceful compared to the Omelas. We are getting criticized since we do not learn from war and we cling onto our weapons. Our solutions are rarely solved through a compromise which usually leads to aggression and…
A background - this is what the brilliant Ursula K. Le Guin brings up in her very short 1973 story The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas. It just a few pages she asks us to conceive of a utopia, a place where everyone enjoys happiness, the lovely place. But for reasons unspecified, the happiness of all others depends on the suffering of a small child confined in the dark, unloved, malnourished and dirty with its own feces. And everyone knows, and comes to accept. Except for a few who, against all the reason, think of the child and decide to walk away from Omelas into the unknown; walk away from the happiness of many built on the suffering of one.…

Over the decades, humanity has changed a substantial amount on several different aspects. Although many things have changed, the recurring themes of human greed and betrayal have both stayed persistent. By examining several stories this essay aims to critically assess the underlying theme of greed, specifically in the form of greed for personal rank and reputation, greed for wealth, greed over religion for worldly goods, and final greed and betrayal of loyalty for love.
