"Anthem" is a dystopian novella written by Ayn Rand, published in 1938. The story is set in a future society where individualism has been eradicated and the concept of self has been subsumed by collectivism. The protagonist, Equality 7-2521, lives in a society where personal pronouns like "I" and "me" have been abolished, and individuals are referred to only by collective terms like "we" and "us."
1. **Individualism vs. Collectivism**: The novella starkly contrasts the virtues of individualism with the dangers of collectivism. It demonstrates how a society that suppresses individuality in favor of conformity stifles creativity, progress, and human potential.
2. **The Power of Knowledge**: The protagonist's discovery of forbidden knowledge from the past highlights the transformative power of education and independent thought. It underscores the importance of intellectual curiosity and the pursuit of truth in challenging oppressive systems.
3. **Freedom and Self-Expression**: "Anthem" emphasizes the intrinsic human desire for freedom and self-expression. It illustrates how individuals yearn to express their unique identities and talents, even in the face of societal repression.
