Jonas

Louis Lowry, the protagonist, Jonas, disagrees with this dystopian way of life. Modern day society and Jonas’s society have close to nothing in common. Jonas’s society is emotionless, experiences Sameness, and has no freedom of choice, while modern day society revolves around emotions, individuality, and freedom.

further into the plot, Jonas begins to come to terms with the harsh reality of his society and that they’ve attempted to transform everyone into being ultimately similar and ‘predictable’ so that there may be no conflict.
