        <description><![CDATA[The sun is a large, foreign body which reaches the apex of its power at noon, bathing individuals below with warmth and enlightenment.The communist movement is like a sun-god unable to make good on its earlier promises- when its government reaches the peak of its power, it offers no warmth or enlightenment (despite the earlier hopes of its intellectuals and philosophers). Thus, individuals under its weight are forced to wander in...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[&quot;Over there&quot; stands for the USSR. &quot;Darkness at Noon&quot; is kind of a roman a clef (a novel that portrays true-life characters or events behind assumed names). Thus, &quot;No. 1&quot; is Stalin, the Soviet dictator who took the Party away from the original ideals of Bolshevism into his own totalitarian vision. As Koestler points out, under No. 1, agreeing with the Party leader is more important than the principles of the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In the synoptic gospels (the Bible) the sky is dark for three hours (ending at noon) when Christ dies. This fits in with the religious imagery of the book, especially the idea of Rubashov as a messiah-figure, willingly dying for sins that aren't his own.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[No. 1 is the fictional representation of USSR leader Joseph Stalin.  This leader plays an important role in the novel, although he is entirely behind the scenes. He is the successor to the grand old leader, Vladimir Lenin, and he has eliminated all opposition to his reign. The dictator of the new, totalitarian party, No. 1 is immensely powerful, yet his alternate name implies that he is imprisoned like the other former leaders, perhaps by...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[If there was darkness at noon, this would be a contradiction and indicate that something was wrong. This is what Rubashov feels at the end just before he's to be executed. The Communist Party had become a government that put mass society before the individual. The individual had to suffer for the greater good of society, according to Communism. They also had come to believe that the end result justifies whatever means you had to use to achieve...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Darkness at Noon represents the philosophical and political ideal of the revolutionary ideology and social morality,  cannot possibly function or work.  Koestler says, —“Wherever [Rubashov’s] eye looked, he saw nothing but desert and the darkness of night”—  
This represents the emptyness and bleakness that Koestler say if a socialist state used increasingly totalitarian means.  Under Koestler’s analysis, it appears unlikely that...]]></description>
