WE, Part C

The novel We illustrates the importance of the individual, the necessity for passion and inspiration, and inescapable revolution. Yevgeny Zamyatin enunciates the virtue of unique thought through this work. At first, the book is frustrating with its nonsensical talk of the beauty of mathematics and the perfect logical reasoning though which OneState functions. However, as it progresses, it becomes evident that Zamyatin is mocking OneState, and he is actually sending a message to his audience about how absurd it is to possess such a state of mind. We is a novel that encourages irrationality and chaos; ideas fused by emotion; apprehension toward authority. Overall, the novel expresses free-spirited ideals that are necessary in our society. Written in an unconvential manner, with many bizzare notions in between, Zamyatin truly presents his literary genius in the form of We.
