Chapters 11 And 12 In Anthem, By Ayn Rand

643 Words | 3 Pages

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. It is not until chapter 11 when Equality realizes the importance of the word and how it is you who chooses the ones you love. In Equality’s words, “I shall choose only such as please me, and them I shall love and respect, but neither command nor obey.”

I said it didn’t make any difference to me and that we could if she wanted to (1.5.44).” He does accept that love is something tangible but understands that there is no significance to it, how it has no reason, and is not required for living.
