I disagree with Greg; I do not believe
that Venus is a dystopia. However, I do not this is a utopia either.
Anne sexton portrays Earth as the
dystopia. There humans progress to the point that even when another
planet, Venus, is made habitable, the new only spends fifteen minutes
on the topic. Then almost immediately after broadcasting the good
news, the different governments destroy the world in nuclear war.
In contrast, there is neither anything
terrible or perfect about Venus; it is a new beginning. Venus was a
place where the inhabitants can evolve on their own without anymore
human involvement as soon as the Ph.D.'s die. The new creatures can
make mistakes like the humans, or they can find a better way to live
with less problems.
