We- Theme

I found the lack of individuality in ''We'' quite amusing. How society can determine the worth of a single person, in the novel it states that a person is only good for the function of onestate,no one person out weighs society as a whole. My favorite line in ''We'' has to be '' I don't want the square root of -1. Take it out of me, this square root of -1. That irrational root grew in me like some alien thing, strange and terrifying, and it was eating me, and you couldn't make any sense of it or neutralize it because it was completely beyond ratio. I like this quote the most because it contradicts d-503's ways of thinking. He thinks in a logical sense only using math to solve all of his life's obstacles. Yet, math even has things that are unknown, like this square root of -1. How d-503 gets so upset because he can't explain what the true value of this is, is amusing. Like how he hated i-330 cause he had emotions and feelings for her that he just couldn't explain. He hates all concepts that are irrational.
