The character I have chosen from the Ayn Rand novel “Anthem” is Equality 7-2521 7-2521, a street sweeper who lives in a collectivist society, which he tries breaks free of. This character is a kind of misfit because he tries to be separate from the society in which he lives in. In this collectivist society, things not done collectively are considered wrong, and everything is done for their brothers and sisters.

The novel didn’t really have the best satisfaction between characters, its atmosphere was really awkward, unsettling and funny at times; it is basically a mix of all that. I felt there was no connection between Andy, Connor and Kajsa, and Ethan for the majority of the novel. The three got along well, and Ethan didn’t, which made things awkward in a minute.

I didn’t join any team” 117; 20-25). Ethan would also play mind games at times, chapter fifteen is an excellent chapter to see how Ethan
