The end of the book - #5

Hello everyone,

Pg. 167 - D-503 helps O and their baby get to I-330 behind the wall so that the two of them may be safe. Also, so O will not have the baby taken from her after she gives birth to the child.

Pg. 187 - The Benefactor shows the hypocrisy of the ancestor's Christian believes and God. How the God was said to be a God of love, but he kill with fire and blood. Also, this God sent people to the pits of Hell.

Pg. 189 - D-503 seems to wish that he was Jesus because if he was he would have a mother. This mother, like Mary, would stand beside him no matter what. Like Mary did when Jesus was being nailed to the cross.

In this last reading I found it interesting on how many direct religious link there were. Yet, the end does not match up with these links as I thought that I would, but the ending was very similar to Jesus' death. According to the Benefactor, "In paradise, they don't know desire, they don't know pity, they don't know love. There, angels, the slaves of God"(187-188). This is how the book ended. D-503 was brain washed from his real self, the free thinking self, and turned back into an angel of God, the Benefactor. At the end of the book D-503 speaks of the resistance and says reason, the One-State, will again take back control.
