- Repetitions:
- Apocalyptic
- Surveillance
- Strand:
- "hovered-over, dominated, imprisoned, overlords" these could all fall under the label of being controlled
- "punishment, torturous, consequence, scold" these all fall under the theme of discipline
- Binary:
- poor/wealthy
- The strand from Miller's "Fresh Hell" including the words "hovered-over/dominated/imprisoned/overlords" represents dystopia's well because in many dystopias the government plays a large role. Commonly they are very controlling and see like "overlords". The people in the novels feel "dominated" and "imprisoned" by their government often. It shows how Miller views some of the situations in dystopian works.
- One anomaly I noticed was that throughout the article Miller discusses how dystopias often have an imprisonment theme. But Miller also believes that Dystopia's help people understand the real world, and in some ways can help them see the bad things happening in the world and free them from that in ways.
