Chapters 3-6

Equality 7-2521 makes the great discovery of light with wires in the tunnel, and is set on showing the world to get rid of candles with electricity. He comes back late however from work and is questioned, immediately there after he is put in jail. The initial strategy to get him to talk are beating (torture) but he does not tell. The reason why he stayed strong I think is because he has lost faith in the council after meeting Golden One, he has lost faith in the council because they say they know all but he knows he has figured out much more. He breaks out and plans to show off his invention at the world scholars convention. Where he lost faith in the council for their lack of knowledge however he gained too much by thinking he can do that after breaking out of prison. He has not mentioned the repercussions of his actions but him doing this will most likely get him killed or tortured for the rest of his life for defying the council. He is fighting for greater knowledge for his brothers, but will definitely lose out for it. If I am correct I would call him a matyr for that, because he is giving himself up not only for his invention but to inform people that council really does not know all. In an un democratic society like this however he will not be treated like an MLK but shunned and ignored. The masses will do what they are supposed to do, and not defy the council because it's all they know. In many cases like this revolt can occur, one small event that governments take too seriously but since he is the first many more must come after to make a change, in all cases of revolt distain is a long growing process that builds up over time. He will be the first definitely not the last.
