The Utopians way of living is certainly unique and unlike any other style of living in the world. It is as pure of a communist society that could exist. There happens to be some perks associated with a pure communist society. For instance, in Utopia everyone that is old and strong enough is put to work (Pg. 63-64). I respect this aspect of the Utopian society because everyone is contributing in some way or another. Since each individual is contributing to the commonwealth there is no one that
would enjoy living in a perfect society, however perfect is different in the eyes of everyone. Many consider their country's the perfect country although they may have many complications in their societies. There may not be a utopian society in today's world, yet we may be near one.

Utopias are one of the worst things invented.Our society is better than the utopian society. Our society gets to make choices for things that are important.

Many of Dostoevsky's writing is in the set in corrupt urban areas. This can be relatable to The Notes from the Underground because the Underground man lives the lifestyle of a poor, frustrated man. Dostoevsky in reality became fond of this type of living as he lived in St. Petersburg. Dostoevsky's opportunity to live in the area of criminals, even though he was a criminal himself, helps convey the dark themes that he used in the writing of The Notes from the Underground (Gibson 20).
