We is based on a dystopian society. They are controlled by the Benefactor, and live in the city of OneState.
We is symbolic because it partially alludes to the Bible. OneState is described as Paradise, and D-503 is Adam and I-330 is Eve. I also feel that the Benefactor can be alluded to the Devil, because he has full control over all citizens. I-330 alludes to Eve because of her rebellious actions. Like Eve, she proves she is a strong, willful woman. D-503 alludes to Adam because he follows the rules. OneState alludes to the idea of Paradise because the citizens have everything they could ever need, such as Adam and Eve, yet lack happiness.
