The source of the Renaissance
The word Renaissance is from Italian word //Rinascimento// which is combined by Italian words //ri-//(re) and //nascere// (birth). The Renaissance is cultural movement from 14th century to 17th century. It was started from cities in Italy. The influence of this movement was sent to various countries in Western Europe. It is a demarcation of the Middle Ages and the Modern Times. It is also a demarcation of the Feudal era and the Capitalist era in Marxism. This movement is Anti-Feudal culture movement in Ideological and cultural fields of the capitalist class. The main idea of this movement is humanism spirit which bases on the feeling of human rather than god. Its proposal is the goal of life is seeking of the happiness in real life rather than the “Eternity”; people should have their own origin personality and should not follow the ignorant theological trends.

The background of Renaissance
The progress of the productivity and the appearance of capitalist class created this movement because the Christliche Kirche controls the thought of the entire society. Any literature work, art work and any philosophy must follow the creed of Bible. Anyone dose not obeys will be punished, even killed by the Inquisition. The Bible tells the source of human is Eden and Eve. They ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. For expiation, as their later generations, human should suffer to go into the heaven in their “Eternities”. This kind of thought makes the progress very difficult of art and science technology. The plague make people have more and more fear and started to suspect the absolutely authority of the theology of the religions.

 -The starts of the Renaissance is because of the control of the churches is unreasonable and the control is mandatory. The governing of the church with religion has too many limits of business' developing. =====

=
 -The reason of Equality runs away from the society to build up another one without unreasonable creed is the council and the scholars in that society do not admit his invention, which means they do not admit any reasonable stuff, thought of words that antis the creed of the council. =====

=
 -Italy is the first country has the movement Renaissance because Italy was the most developed country in Western Europe at that time and most of the trades on business and culture proceeds there. Cultures crashes and combine with each other and makes people governed by the church thinks about their leader is good of not. =====

=
 -Equality is the special one in his brothers. He is smart, curious and reasonable. The differences of him from the society make him absolutely being a counter one. He thinks reasonably and logical, he uses his own viewing of the world to describe and judge everything which is right of wrong. =====

=
 -Countries around Italy started their own Renaissance after Italy, people who started to think about their meaning of their life returned smart and thoughtful. When if people have their own thought rather than only receiving others’, they will become reality and they will realize that they should have their own life and feeling. =====

=
 -Equality met Liberty who has also the conscious of herself. They are both enough clever to understand that how useless the society they live in is and they are enough brave to run away and break all the rules and creed the council set up. Liberty is a special girl who dose not stays in the dying creeds. All she dose in the novel was for her self’s happiness and willing but not the council’s. =====

 -The Renaissance was long, hundreds of years of fighting, progress, culture combining, all of this made Western Europe becoming more and more powerful. Today people see that European are rich and strong, only few of them think about the source of the Renaissance and how many scarifies dose it need to create such a new politics organization. -The novel //Anthem // stopped when Equality tells his plan and his future, but the future is as clear as people see in the Renaissance. The council is going down and there is a day that people bear arms against it. Prometheus will create a brand new system from the "Unmentionable Time" and build up his own land with his love. This goal is a long-way-job and it is difficult to build up a government strong to against the whole world, maybe this will take hundreds of years longer than the Renaissance, but all he dose is in the way that human can improve, his goal will achieve in the future by his after generation.
 * 4. The way that the movement/revolution experienced **

- Renaissance is the movement by the people who want more free right to improve their own life and earn more. The governor they are against is the Feudal era with the church.
- The novel //Anthem// is base on a collectivism society (like of communism society), and both Equality and Liberty want is a liberty, developed and reasonable government rather than a council believes only the collective.

Both of the //Anthem// and the Renaissance are refreshing of the social style. The society, the world, things that people need, is always changing, and the society system needs to change as most people need. Governor, who runs counter this rule, will never win the respect of people and the right to lead anymore. Those who are able to set up a system that satisfied the need of people will be the leaders. Italy is the first country has people stands up to show up that they need a brand new society and it is the richest one at that age. Equality and Liberty are those ones who are brave, smart and confident to stay alone and being enemies of the entire world, that is why they can be reasonable without the obstruction of the council and every single “brothers” of them.
