• SECTION 5  Of our Methods of Recognizing one another Cover
      by LovelyMay In Flatland, women occupy a severely restricted position, with a societal structure that denies them improvement or hope for advancement. The saying "Once a Woman, always a Woman" reflects the immutable nature of their fate, as evolution seems to have worked against them. Women are not only restricted by their inferior angles but also lack the ability to improve their status, which makes their condition especially dire in Flatland. Despite this, they are free from the burden of recalling or anticipating…

    • SECTION 22  How I then tried to diffuse the Theory of Three Dimensions by other means, and of the result Cover
      by LovelyMay In this chapter of "Flatland," the narrator recounts his failed attempts to enlighten others about the mysteries of the Third Dimension, starting with his Grandson, who mocks the idea.

    • SECTION 21  How I tried to teach the Theory of Three Dimensions to my Grandson, and with what success Cover
      by LovelyMay Grandson, whose casual remarks on the meaning of 3, 4, and even 5 dimensions had met with the approval of the Sphere? This idea was, at first, with enthusiasm; but I soon discovered that, while the theory was comprehensible enough, its application baffled me. Every attempt to demonstrate the concept of upward, not Northward, by analogies from the world of sight, totally failed; for in the realm of Flatland, the very idea of "upward" as opposed to "Northward" or any other "ward" was…

    • SECTION 19  How, though the Sphere shewed me other mysteries of Spaceland, I still desire more; and what came of it Cover
      by LovelyMay In this segment of "Flatland," the Sphere introduces the narrator, a Square, to the concept of three-dimensional objects by illustrating how a solid figure, such as a cube, is formed through the stacking of squares, challenging the Square's perception limited by his two-dimensional experience. Despite the Sphere's efforts, the Square initially perceives the cube merely as a plane figure with irregular boundaries, highlighting the difficulty of comprehending dimensions beyond one's own perceptual…

    • SECTION 17  How the Sphere, having in vain tried words, resorted to deeds Cover
      by LovelyMay How the Sphere, having in vain tried words, resorted to deeds. It was in vain. I brought my hardest right angle into violent collision with the Stranger, pressing on him with a force sufficient to have destroyed any ordinary Circle: but I could feel him slowly and unarrestably slipping from my contact; not edging to the right nor to the left, but moving somehow out of the world, and vanishing into nothing. Soon there was a blank. But still I heard the Intruder's voice. Sphere. Why will you refuse to…
