Isolation is a negative feeling and therefore is a theme used recurrently in dystopian stories to create a negative backdrop. Isolation can be broadly divided into three types: social, physical and mental. Social isolation is when a person does not interact with society for long periods of time. Physical isolation is when a person or society is physically isolated from other people or societies. Finally, mental isolation occurs when a person's ideas or psyche are radically different from those of others in society. The three types of insulation are used by the authors for different purposes. Although isolation can be divided into three types, all types of isolation are used in dystopian stories to create negativity in the stories because the effects of isolation are typically negative. Mental isolation has been used by authors in some of the stories we read, to demonstrate the difficulties a person faced because they were mentally isolated from society. A person becomes mentally isolated from society when his beliefs do not agree with those of society. The theme of mental isolation is used by the author of 'Cassandra' to show the difficulties Alice faces because she has a special ability that others in society do not have. (Cherryh, CJ Bedford/St. Martins. 1978) The author says that “even her parents couldn't cope with this - at first they only visited her in hospital, then only during holidays, and then not at all. She didn't know where they were." (Page 945). Crazy Alice is mentally isolated from society because of her ability to see the future. Because of her "incurable disease" or special ability, society isolates her by not listening to her. .. middle of the paper... graphic stories we read, isolation was used to create negativity Different types of isolation created negativity in the stories to different degrees depended on the way it was presented by author. Isolation caused multiple negative effects in dystopian stories such as unhappiness, attitude changes, torture, and suffering. Usually, mental isolation came from a person in society who had radical ideas 'physical isolation where a person or society was physically isolated. Therefore, the negative effects caused by isolation were used to create a negative theme/feeling in dystopian stories. So, isolation was a theme used in every dystopian story we read. Thus, it can be concluded that isolation is a theme commonly used by dystopian authors to create dystopian societies.
