The title of the blog post is “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Television Symbolism”. In the post, I will be discussing the symbolism of television in the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K.
Dick.
In the novel, television is a symbol of the false reality that the people in the novel live in. The fake sheep that people own as pets are a symbol of how people have lost touch with nature and reality.
The characters in the novel watch television to escape from their boring, everyday lives.
Television is also a symbol of the government’s control over the people in the novel. The government uses television to control the thoughts and emotions of the people.
The government is able to control what the people see on television and what they don’t see. This is a way for the government to control the people’s minds.
The television is also a symbol of the characters’ loneliness and isolation.
The characters are so lonely that they watch television to feel less alone. The characters are so isolated that they can’t even interact with real people. They only interact with people on television.
Up until answer to question 15..
