Abstract
Abstract:This essay argues that in Ira Levin's The Stepford Wives, a collectivist-oriented society is created through deindividuation, obedience, compliance, and conformity to group norms. A malevolent leader clouds Stepford men's thinking and cultivates the perception that women are less than human, making them appear as an enemy deserving of annihilation.
