Utopia 2

our class discussion like 2 weeks ago about the 2nd book of Utopia was very interesting to me. Either people wanted to live there or they hated the place kinda like the wife of bath. what I want to know is : does that have to do with our individual personalities? I wonder if there's like a web site out there with test to tell you what type of personality you are based on if you like or dislike Utopia. just knowing that Utopia isn't real is assuring but Utopia does exist, in my mind.

" He posed a dilemma about Utopia: if the story is put forward as true, he said, then I see a number of absurdities in it; but if it's a fable, then it seems to me that in various respects More's usual good judgment is at fault"


I think that More is writing about the pope. he goes on the talk about how he criticized about the priests so that's where I draw that conclusion from. but anyway even if he is talking about the pope this letter is a part of the story which leads me to believe that the whole book has a deeper meaning. isn't Utopia supposed to mirror England or something like that. and isn't England a socialist country anyway? that's funny... that More wrote this long before England became socialist? I don't really know the history of England so I'm not sure if he did write this before England became socialist but it make sense. He must be like a psychic or something. maybe just a really good economist

if Utopia was a real place then it couldn't be as prefect as the book is making it out to seem. because nothing is perfect in the world. but if the story is false, why does he say the More's at fault? I think it's because he should be talking about the things that hes talking about in the way that he is in the book. he's like expressing his repressed anger in the form of a fictional novel. and the fact that common folk think that Utopia is a real place can be something to laugh at. maybe that's why the guy says he's at fault. More wrote that part of the story thought it just doesn't add up to me.
