The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas

 The story is an allegory used to portray happiness in the city. The city is not real and is left for the reader to create in their mind however they must remember that Omelas are happy and suffer at the same time. The narrator emphasizes the importance of how happiness is founded upon necessity and destructiveness. The society of the Omelas is supposed to be a vision of the ideal society. There are drugs in the society, but because the Omelas are usually always content, the drugs are used by few people. The narrator wants the reader to use their imagine and think about the pleasures in life without them being destructive. The whole point of this allegory is to make the reader use their imagination to create a happy and nondestructive society and if they are incapable of that, then it reflects their society they are currently in and their views of it.
