Considering that traditional society considered women inferior to men, female roles in each work challenge the status quo and make the audience's eyes more weary towards society than they might have had in precedence supported without doubt. The book We and the plays Antigone and A Doll's House provide rich support for individual reasoning and ardent opposition to mindless devotion to the establishment. Zamyatin's story opens with a perspective supporting a fanatical institution, but at deeper levels contradictory comments are already starting to ripple out. A potential allusion to Zamyatin's ideological confusion early in his life, the hidden meaning of We's first lines reveals the trap of an ideal society. While Zamyatin believed that trust in society led to the decline of personal willpower, Sophocles argued that personal willpower provided a better alternative to trust in society. Antigone sticks to her morals, even in direct violation of the laws established by the “Ship of State.” Sophocles paints a picture of humans as playthings of malevolent gods and goddesses; in the end, sticking to morality is the only way to escape the vicious circle that afflicts Thebes. Ibsen provides a middle ground among others as Nora's awareness of the pitfalls of an ideal society pushes her to seek new beginnings as a conscious, thinking individual. In the final scene of A Doll's House, Nora explains to Torvald her reasons for leaving him and their family: "I believe that first of all I am a reasonable human being, just like you - or, at any rate, that I must try to become one. I know well, Torvald, that most people would agree with you, and that such opinions are found in books; but I can... in the middle of the paper... we were considered masters of their style of writing (not to say that Zamyatin was not) and their aforementioned pieces became among the most well-received in their repertoire, maintaining prominence even today. Each author has constructed a story based on society and its quarks; a central pillar is that of erroneous trust in a misguided society. Furthermore, this system discourages the atypical free thinker who would do well to cultivate. Each author stands out from the crowd in terms of the insight of their works. The messages found within, revered and studied today, encourage the scrutiny of an ideal society demonstrating that belief in such a notion undermines the strong-minded citizen necessary for true social harmony. Presented against the backdrop of wonderful story creation, they skillfully convey their theses.
