Feed Literary Elements

Dystopian novel

The action in the novel takes place in a year not mentioned in America.

The action takes place from a third person objective point of view.

Artificial, tragic, neutral

The protagonists in the novel are Violet and Titus and the antagonist is the consumerism society in which they live in.

The major conflict is between Violet and her reluctance to become just another consumer in the society where she lives.

The story reaches its climax when it becomes clear that Violet will die and when Titus breaks up with her.

While the other children affected by the hacker had their feeds fixed soon after, Violet is the only one whose feed was not fixed. Soon, it became clear that the malfunction of her feed was being to affect her. When Titus sees Violet pinching herself after dropping her off at a clinic, the event foreshadows the ways in which the malfunction of the feed will affect her in the future.

When the American president claims that the lesions are not produced by the American industry is an understatement that will be debunked later in the novel.

One of the things alluded in the novel that humans evolved in the future to resemble computers more than humans. With the appearance of the feed, everyone became connected but this also made them susceptible to hackers and computer viruses, just like a computer would be nowadays.

One of the most important images appears towards the end of the novel, when Titus visits Violet after she got really sick. At that point, Violent was no longer responsive and her head was shaved, with clear marks from where she was operated on. The image is important because it shows just how much we are affected by technology and how technology will eventually make humans be inhuman.
