I'm going to write about conformity in the book and how it supports ignorance. The people in the book who conform to the One State usually have simpler, easier lives and are happier than those who rebel and don't conform. The saying "Ignorance is Bliss" is very true and relates alot to what I plan on writing about. When D-503 just went to work and did what was asked of him, he was happy. It can be said that he was much happier when he was in love with I-330. But that love and happiness ended up coming at too high a cost.
If D-503 could be given the choice between pure joy with I-330 at the cost of being a rebel for a cause that would end up failing, and living out his days with average happiness doing math problems that he loves so much at the cost of never knowing what love feels like, which one would he choose? Which one would you choose?
