Abstract

This essay mainly explores the connection between the administrative/operative machinery which is at work in the utopian society and the way it manipulates the mobility as well as the lives of its dwellers. The essay also discusses the manipulated locations and dislocations of the citizens in the utopian island. Michael de Certeau’s ‘Walking in the City’ has been used as a theoretical framework to approach Thomas More’s work in fiction, Utopia. The aim of the research is to explore the usual in Utopia. Usually, the Utopia or the Island itself has been considered as an ideal place to live in; however, this paper attempts to find out something less ideal or the excessive check on the citizens that mars their liberty or free will. The study argues that the lives of the citizens on the island are mutilated with almost numerical values to the extent that they almost seem serving under a servitude.
