The character that I have chosen for my second topic is mathematician D-503. In We, D-503 resists the society created by the One State by exploring the human emotion of love. The epitome of this can be seen when D-503 engages in sexual intercourse with cipher I-330, whom he is not registered to. This is a highly criminal action in that all sexual actions in the One State must be regulated by the use of a pink ticket. Another way in which D-503 resists the One State is in his journal, in which he becomes more and more questioning of his loyalty to the One State, which becomes more and more conflicting with his feelings of love towards cipher I-330. Finally, D's resisitance comes to a climactic point when he chooses to sabatouge his own Intregral, fully demonstrating his detatchment from the One State and his former self.
D's attempt at sabatoge fails, however, as the Integral is saved, and is brought back down to earth safely. D also wakes up in his bed following the event, which leaves the validity of the matter doubtful. Ultimately, D's resistence is successfull only temporarily, as he is soon captured by the One State who performs an operation on him that eliminates all non-logical feelings and emotions, including his imagination. To ensure that his loyalty is sound, D witnesses the death of his beloved I-330 at the hands of the Benefactor, to whom his ultimate loyalty now lies.
