Maya Bassett English 131 28 March 2013 Ignorance Is Bliss “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” and “Harrison Bergeron” are both dystopian stories depicting utilitarian societies where human suffering must occur in order to uphold their social structures. Each is a parable about extremism with a central figure key to maintaining the equilibrium of these societies. The authors pose questions about freedom and equality while exploring suppression, ignorance, and apathy.

“The Great Chain of Being was supposed to keep the Earth in a stable condition and order. Anything that breaks this chain of order was said to disrupt the stability of the universe.” (Wikka 1) Macbeth was selfish to commit this act for nothing but personal gain. In the end he was not even content with the outcome, just like the people around him. “I’ll go no more: / I am afraid to think what I have done” (II.ii.48-49) Therefore, selfishness only leads to unhappiness and trouble for all. This is shown, also, when Macbeth begins to keep his wife out from his life.

It takes a true person to look past the horror and terror of the monster Grendel. This shows that our society is quick to judge things that they are unfamiliar with. Grendel is a horrifying monster, but acts like this because that is where he comes from. He receives no love and attention from the human society in which he wants to be a part of, so his actions are taken out on that, depicting him as a savage beast.

And it is to the pursuit of average citizen who can hardly be any threat to the State dictatorship, the unknown citizen marked only by JS/07 M 378—a string a letters and numbers—is commented and for whom the marble monument is erected. So and so, it’s clear that Auden is warning us that a mindless and cold-hearted State as such is depriving people of their individuality and that the result on the citizens may be devastating. Individuals who together with State form an integrated part of society have lost their individualities and originalities. The citizen portrayed in the poem is obviously average. For
