"The Ones Who Walked Away from Omelas", a short story I had to read in grade 10. It shows that Utopia or what may seem like Utopia isn't really what it seems. There may always be a darker side to things that we are not exposed to or cannot see. It can be related back to the quote "I am not what I am" spoken by Iago in Shakespeare's play Othello. Iago is not what he SEEMS to be and neither is Omelas. Omelas from the outside seems to be a perfect happy place but inside, it is filled with unspeakable brutality (I may be exaggerating a bit) Omelas the word comes from the word Omelis and Meli being honey in a mixture of black pigment. This reflects the "Utopia" that is displayed in the story. Honey, the Utopia in a mixture of black pigment, the brutalness inside this little society.
