In Ayn Rand's book entitled Anthem, what page is the word "blacker" on?This word is going in my essay about the dark to light theme.

The novel certainly goes from dark to light physically,
mentally, and emotionally! With the image of the rooms where the people sleep being
completely white contrasted with the candles used at night and Equality's cave, it would
seem like this book would be perfect if shot as a black and white movie. Then, just like
the Wizard of Oz, the movie version could change into technicolor when he escapes to the
forest. That being said, the word "blacker" is appropriately placed within the first
paragraph of chapter one. In Signet's student edition, the story begins on page 18 and
Equality is already in the cave writing his first entry which
says:

"It is a
sin to write this. It is a sin to think words no others think and to put them down upon
paper no others are to see. It is base and evil. It is as if we were speaking alone to
no ears but our own. And we know well that there is no transgression blacker than to do
or think alone."

So, yes, the
first image is the word "blacker" coupled with "transgression" or "sin" which starts the
book off in a very dark mood.
