The two-dimensional world Flatland is utilized as an allegory of the era while Lineland is used to show the hypocrisy and ignorance of the lands. The story is a social commentary on the Victorian era as it satirizes the social norms, class hierarchy, and gender roles. “.learn this lesson, that to be self-contented is to be vile and ignorant, and that to aspire is better than to be blindly and impotently happy.” The Sphere In consequence, the Sphere attempts to explain in the quotation that any dimension higher than their own require open-mindedness and acceptance of the new knowledge. However, as expected his reaction is denial at first since conceptualizing such a world is beyond what he could fathom. The Sphere guides him into the third dimension and gets to observe full figures with solid dimensions. He tries to be unbiased when the Sphere tries to explain Spaceland since he appears as a circle to him. Even though he has been acquainted with the Lineland, the one-dimensional realm and his attempt to convince them of his world were futile. The Square is from a two-dimensional world, Flatland hence the idea of a three-dimensional one is hard for him to comprehend. “It is neither…it is Knowledge it is Three Dimensions: open your eye once again and try to look steadily.” The Sphere Written by people who wish to remain anonymous
