There are so many rules made by the City, most of which are aimed to create a city of all collective people. All the people in the City are forced to obey laws that encourage all of them to not surpass another person's ability. In other words, all people are forced to think the same, to be physically the same, and act the same according to what the Council thinks is 'best' for all men. To demonstrate, the men in the City only refer to themselves as "we" or "our" and there are no mirrors in the City so men didn't care or think about their appearances. Other men, such as Equality 7-2521, were looked down for there abnormalities, as he was taller and did a lot of thinking. First, there is a rule where there is no one can say "i" and only "we" or "our". The men in the City were born into a society where they don't know what individuality meant and that all men are one and equal, and nothing else. Words like I, mine or me are considered as the Unspeakable Words. Although there isn't a specific punishment for using words like these, the Saint of the Pyre had been burned alive for using the Unspeakable Word. Next, because all men are to be equal, it is wrong to be different, physically and mentally. In Anthem, Equality 7-2521 is not only taller than his brothers, he is curious and had wanted a job in the house of scholars. In the book, Equality 7-2521 chose to think differently and had preferred things, as he usually thought for himself. There is also a rule which men aren't allowed to think more of others.  Furthermore, men were not allowed to think of women as it was thought to be unfair to others. This meant men could not have or choose friends or love another person. Rules like these were established in order to further establish a community in which all men are equal as possible. The World Council didn't want people to think differently and that such things were part of the Unmentionable Times. A time before the creation of the City, where things in that time were considered evil. The World Council disliked the idea of men being able to think for themselves and to, basically, freely make their own decisions. At the end of the book, Equality 7-2521, now Prometheus, envisioned a society of his own. As he continued on in the Uncharted Forest, Equality 7-2521, began to realize the importance identity and individualism, as well as the soul. From this realization, Equality 7-2521's envision of his own society would greatly contrast of the City. People brought to there would learn of individuality and uniqueness, such as "i". People of his society will also live for their own sake and not under control of others. This is because Equality 7-2521 believed that the surrender of the word "i" had caused a great deal of damage to mankind. Equality 7-2521 would never build a society remotely similar to the City. Instead, he would build a society similar to the past era. People in this society would be free instead of servants. Equality 7-2521 believed in the ability to independently think and to be allowed to be curious. People wouldn't be shamed upon for their uniqueness and should be allowed to embrace their differences. He also believes people should be allowed to have the choice to make friends and also love who they want. Equality 7-2521 would not separate men and women as the relationship between him and Liberty 5-3000 prove there is nothing wrong for men to think of women. That is why Equality 7-2521 would not include the rules of the City into the envisionment of his own society.
