Sažetak djela Flatland (Section 14)

Section 14 od 22 · Part 2: Other Worlds “O brave new worlds, that have such people in them!” · 8 min čitanja: section

In Section 14, the narrator tries to explain Flatland to the King of Lineland, whose reliance on hearing prevents him from accepting movement beyond his single line. Demonstrations give way to insults, the King and his subjects threaten violence, and the narrator wakes to a breakfast bell.

Što se događa

  1. The King explains how differences in sound reveal his length and the positions and sizes of his subjects.
  2. The narrator suggests touch as a safeguard against deception, but the King calls it a capital offense and defends hearing.
  3. The narrator describes sideways movement, but the King cannot understand a direction outside his line.
  4. The narrator leaves Lineland, describes its inhabitants from outside, and returns, but the King dismisses this as magic and familiar information.
  5. The narrator angrily declares himself a Square and insults the King, who advances as his subjects raise a threatening cry.
  6. The narrator wakes as the breakfast bell sounds in Flatland.

Na što obratiti pozornost

The King makes his own sensory experience the limit of belief. This explains why the narrator’s disappearance and external observations do not persuade him.
