At the end of the book the theme love stuck out to me extremely. When America came back from her father's funeral, and Maxon came by to check on America, he came in and showed America the house that he bought her family and told her that he would be marrying her she was so happy, on page 269-270 it said “ ‘Maxon, some of those marks are on your back so they wouldn't be on mine, and I love you for them.’ He stopped breathing for a second. ‘What did you say?’ I smiled ‘I love you.’ ‘One more time, please?

Love is a concept missing from the majority of the book. The word love is mentioned numerous times but is not meaningful until Equality and Liberty bond over the understanding of the word and how they share the feeling of love with each other. When the word love is mentioned in chapters 1-10, it is used as a way of life, in the way that you are meant to love your brothers and the society you live in without question.

In Equality’s words, “I shall choose only such as please me, and them I shall love and respect, but neither command nor obey.”
