Definitions From The Book!

Style: The style used in this book could be described like mathematical equations. D-503 talks like he is a robot and not like a human. It's like reading a report. An example from the book-" I am merely copying, word for word, what was printed in the State Gazette today."

Diction: The diction in the story We is much like the style. Since the author is trying to make the characters seem robotic, it is appropriate for the narrator to talk mathematically. He talks in a very educated matter with proper grammar. It would be odd for D-503 to start using wrong grammar.Example from the book-"...and yet one is a benefactor and the other, a criminal, one is a + sign and the other is a - sign.

Tone: In We D-503 shows respect for authority he is glad that every part of his day is controlled. He is attracted to O-90 and is intrigued by  I-330. He feel like O-90 and R-13 are his family. An example from the book- "I, he, and  O- we are a triangle..."

Irony: Something ironic in the book is that D-503 tries to follow the rules and everything but the more he is with I-330 the more he breaks the rules. Another ironic point is that D-503 thinks the One State is perfect but you can slightly tell that there are some imperfections.

Plot: D-503 lives in the future. There is no freedom. Everything is going well and then he meets I-330. She starts to turn his lif upside down.

Characterization:O-90 is slightly dim witted in my opinion she just goes along with whatever D-503 says. I-330 is a rebel. She wants to break the rules. An example from the book is when I-330 drinks and smokes.D-503 follows the rules and believes the One State is perfect.

Setting: We takes place in the future. It takes place in the One State where nobody goes passed the Green Wall. The characters in a world where every part of their life is controlled.

Point of View: The story is told in the point of view of D-503. He tells it like a report. Everything that happens he records for Integral.

Symbol: Some symbols in the book would be like how the One State represents Russia. The people in We represent robots.

Theme:The theme of the story is to poke fun at Russian leaders. It kind of shows how ridiculous the totalitarianism ideas were. An example in the book was that everybody's whole day was planned for them and they couldn't control anything for themselves.
