TL;DR: The authors discuss the role of writing and language in the rebellion of D-503, the main protagonist of We, and discuss the metafictional aspects of the novel and the effect of firstperson narration on the production of this text.
Abstract: In Yevgeny Zamyatin’s We, the protagonist resists the regime in which he lives by engaging in writing/composition. D-503, the main protagonist, begins a journal that records his rebellious activity and movement towards individuality. The protagonist not only records rebellion, but the act of writing/composition is inextricably tied into the resistance it accompanies. In this paper, I will focus specifically on the protagonist of the novel by discussing the role of writing and language in the rebellion of the protagonist. I will also discuss the metafictional aspects of the novel and the effect of first-person narration on the production of this text.
