Message of book and religious theme and link to If this is a man

The point that Zamyatin tries to get across to the Communist leaders is that it is impossible to remove all the rebels against a system and he even says this through (ironically) I-330: "There is no one final revolution. Revolutions are infinite. 


The religious theme is shown in the plot of the story, The story of Adam and eve is shown in the text of "We". We can see the Garden of Eden the perfect society in happiness and secluded from the outside world is the one state. The benefactor is god portraying his ideas and ways of living across to a society. D-503 is the equivalent of Adam. He is given the task of building the Integral and giving knowledge of the perfection of the One State to whoever receives it, much like Adam was trusted by God to protect Eden. However the infiltration of the guardians of S-4711 and the serpent in the garden of Eden this connections is made by the guardians name starting with an s which is connected with a snake or serpent. and I-330, the Eve of this story, tempt D-503 with the fruit of knowledge that is the soul and the outside world, the world of the Mephi, and, as Eve encouraged Adam to eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, so does I-330 seduce D-503 into joining her in the Mephi's cause.


The link to if this is a man is that the names of the cyphers are expressed as numbers in We it is because it gets rid of personality that falters the machine of the one state in the text If this is a man it is to lose the individuality of the Jews and create a loss of humanity.
