Totalitarianism

 

Compare ¨The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas¨ by Ursula K. LeGuin and ¨The Lottery¨ by shirley Jackson as dystopian fiction, in each’s development of a common, underlying theme of totalitarianism —the human cost of “security,” the nature of a centralized, controlling executive administration or bureaucracy, and the essence of life lived under such a regime (“locking down” in the broom closet or in the iron house so to speak). Develop and support your thesis with specific quotations, observations, and analysis of scene and detail. You are welcome to resonate additional sources, such as those added above or otherwise, with the stories you compare
