Flatland, Section 7: samenvatting
Section 7 van 22 · Part 1: This World · 5 min om section te lezen
In Section 7, the narrator explains why Flatland treats equal sides as essential to recognition, safety, and social order, then defends laws that punish irregular bodies. He rejects arguments that persecution causes bad character and recommends death when medical authorities judge an irregular child unlikely to recover.
