    1984 by George Orwell is a dystopian novel set in a totalitarian society ruled by Big Brother. It follows Winston Smith, a man who rebels against the oppressive regime, seeking truth and freedom in a world of surveillance, propaganda, and thought control.

    In Part Three of “Anthem” by Ayn Rand, Equal­i­ty 7–2521 shares a ground­break­ing dis­cov­ery that sets him apart from the rest of his soci­ety. Defy­ing the Coun­cil of Schol­ars’ asser­tion that only uni­ver­sal­ly acknowl­edged knowl­edge is valid, Equal­i­ty 7–2521 embraces the unknown, unveil­ing a nov­el pow­er of nature through sheer curios­i­ty and tenac­i­ty. His jour­ney into the for­bid­den realm of indi­vid­ual dis­cov­ery begins with a sim­ple, yet pro­found, obser­va­tion— a dead frog’s leg twitch­ing, spurred by an unknown force. This leads him down a path of exper­i­men­ta­tion, ulti­mate­ly reveal­ing the pow­er of elec­tric­i­ty, a con­cept utter­ly for­eign and denied by the con­straints of his col­lec­tive soci­ety.

    Through metic­u­lous experimentation—mingling cop­per, zinc, and brine—he wit­ness­es the birth of an elec­tri­cal cur­rent, chal­leng­ing the very foun­da­tions of his world’s under­stand­ing of nature and the laws gov­ern­ing it. This dis­cov­ery becomes a bea­con of for­bid­den knowl­edge, promis­ing change but also herald­ing poten­tial pun­ish­ment from a soci­ety that abhors devi­a­tion from col­lec­tive thought and knowl­edge.

    Equal­i­ty 7–2521’s nar­ra­tive is not just a tale of sci­en­tif­ic inquiry but a metaphor­i­cal illu­mi­na­tion of indi­vid­ual poten­tial against the restric­tive dark­ness of col­lec­tive con­for­mi­ty. His dis­cov­ery of elec­tric­i­ty sym­bol­izes the enlight­en­ing pow­er of indi­vid­ual thought, pos­ing a direct chal­lenge to the oppres­sive doc­trines of his world. The com­pass nee­dle, influ­enced by his new­found pow­er to defy the accept­ed direction—pointing north—serves as a poignant sym­bol of ground­break­ing change and the ques­tion­ing of immutable truths pre­vi­ous­ly accept­ed with­out ques­tion.

    By jux­ta­pos­ing his soli­tary quest for knowl­edge against the col­lec­tive igno­rance enforced by the Coun­cil of Schol­ars, Rand por­trays Equal­i­ty 7–2521 as a pio­neer, a lone intel­lect in a sea of con­for­mi­ty. His exper­i­ments with lightning—drawing the pow­er of the sky to the earth—further exem­pli­fy his bur­geon­ing under­stand­ing and con­trol over the nat­ur­al world, a pow­er hith­er­to unde­fined and unrec­og­nized by his soci­ety. Equal­i­ty 7–2521’s jour­ney is one of enlight­en­ment, not only in the sci­en­tif­ic dis­cov­ery of elec­tric­i­ty but in the awak­en­ing of his per­son­al iden­ti­ty and the recog­ni­tion of his sep­a­ra­tion from, and con­flict with, the col­lec­tive iden­ti­ty enforced by his world.
