To imagine a society without individuality is difficult. A world without the clothes, food, and activities that make us distinct and different from others, perhaps seems implausible. However, in Ayn Rand’s novelette Anthem, this peculiar world without separateness is brought to our attention through the eyes of a protagonist who feels neither equal nor one with his brothers. Equality was motivated by selfishness, which is a prime incentive in human nature. Nevertheless, with his selfishness, he held a certain care for humanity and his brothers, making it moral for him to think this way; if the world were motivated by the same feelings, such as selfishness, or even love, the individuality that is sometimes taken for granted might be lost.
