Style- The style of the book is very mathmatic and precise. I think this is to dehumanized the main character. Everything is explained using math or angles or a very clear cold voice. The preciseness of their lives is shown through the exactness of the language.
Tone- The tone of the book is cold, and calculating. This dehumanized the characters in the book.
Irony- A situation of irony in the book is when the main character says that he will turn in I-330 but puts it off saying hes sick, the reader knows he will never turn her in even though he says he will.
Characterzation- The main character, D-503, is characterized by being obedient, mathmatical, precise. All of this is clear in his language and actions in the first few records. None of his thoughts stray from what the One State believes.
Setting- The setting is a town after the 200 year war. They are in a very regimented society.
Point Of View- The points of veiw is third person narrative, from D-503's point of view.
Symbol- One symbol in this book is the "Cast-iron hand" of the as D-503 describes it. The hand symbolizes the hand the government has in all the citizens lives.
Theme-We havent finished the book but I have a feeling the theme of the story will be something along the lines stand up for what you believe in or dont blindly believe others.
