While looking at the different stories we have read thus far I believe that modernism is best displayed through the character of the Chancellor in "The Obsolete Man." The Chancellor's character is one in which he believes that there is one absolute truth which is what "the state" believe is true. If the state says their is no God then the Chancellor believes there is no God. The Chancellor's views drastically changed when he was faced with death. At this point the Chancellor yells "In the name of God let me out." At this point in the story the Chancellor moved to a post-modernism view by showing that everyone is different in their views. Ex: His view on God vs. the States view on God. I choose this picture to illustrate the Chancellors views because they are on two different ends of the spectrum as the story begins and when it ends. Just like the red and violet are two different ends of the spectrum so are The Chancellors views from the beginning to the end.
