We
Style and Technique
The novel «We» by Yevgeny Zamyatin is written in the form of the protagonist D-503's diary, allowing the reader to immerse themselves in his inner world and experiences. The language of the work is characterized by conciseness and precision, reflecting the spirit of the dystopian society where everything is subject to logic and mathematics. Zamyatin uses many allegories and symbols, such as glass walls, symbolizing the absence of private life and the transparency of all actions. Through the use of scientific terminology and mathematical metaphors, the author conveys the atmosphere of a world dominated by collectivism and suppressed individual feelings. The structure of the novel is closely tied to the development of the plot, where each diary entry reflects changes in the protagonist's consciousness and his gradual discovery of his feelings and desires, ultimately leading to a conflict with the social order.
