Exploring Ayn Rand's "Anthem": The Archetypes and Hero's Journey of Equality

Ayn Rand's novella "Anthem" illustrates a profound narrative rooted in the Hero's Journey archetype through the character of Equality 7-2521. Set in a dystopian future, the story reflects Rand's philosophical ideals of Objectivism while depicting the struggles against collectivism. As Equality seeks freedom and individuality, his encounters with significant characters like Liberty 5-3000 and the World Council highlight themes of innate wisdom versus educated stupidity. This analysis delves into the plot points, character development, and socio-political influences shaping Rand's vision.
