Examples Of Utopian Society In The Giver
Utopian Society? “Every utopian society faces the same problem: what do you do with the people who don't fit in.”(Margaret Atwood). In the Giver they attempt to create a utopian society. In order to do that they gave up their freedom. A perfect society takes away more than it gives.

In our modern society we are allowed to chose what we want, think what we want, do what we want, in our society we have freedom. For example there are laws that protect our freedoms. “Even the matching of spouses was given such weighty consideration that sometimes an adult who applied to receive a spouse waited months or even years before a match was approved and announced.In this society they don’t have choice in much of everything.

In the giver the protagonist is Jonas who learns that everything he knew was a lie and there was more to the world.

In utopia everybody is supposed to be happy by accepting things in life like death. In conclusion a perfect world cannot exist because if you take away love, hate, pain, freedom, and individuality, that is not a perfect society. A perfect society cannot exist without taking out these things, so utopian is just a dream therefore it cannot
