The Utopia Theme
In the book Utopia the idea of a perfect world is presented to us the readers. It's an idea that most of us know already. But when this book came out in 1516, this was a totaly new idea. No one had ever thought of the idea that a perfect world could exist. As humans, we tend to try and strive towards this idea. But the problem with that is everyone has different ideas on just what that world consists of. Utopia is just one persons idea of that vision. From this book, Thomas More planted the seeds for many other classic books that take on the idea of a utopia. Books like 1984 and Brave New World take on the ideas of a distopia, the idea of a non-perfect world, and all of them lead back to what the book started. The idea of a perfect one.
