The CENTRAL
Central building represents the total control the machine government of IT has over individuals
on the planet Camazotz. We learn there has been peace and high industrial output on the planet
for centuries due to the control of CENTRAL Central intelligence. The price is total, mindless,
soul-crushing conformity to a single will.
The building itself is
intimidating. It is taller than the Empire State Building and just as wide as it is tall, making
it an enormous building. It has only one set of bronze doors that are at least two stories
high.
Inside, it continues to be intimidating, which makes the children
increasingly uneasy. The building has sickly greenish marble walls, and one can feel the pull
and rhythm of IT. The children see the little boy they had encountered earlier who was not
bouncing a ball properly. He is in a room being conditioned to do so correctly at CENTRAL
Central through electric shocks. All in all, the building symbolizes soulless, cruel mind
control and dehumanization.
