Utopia Book 2, Conclusion

By Thomas More

Book 2, Conclusion

The narrative now returns to More's first person experience, and he thinks that many aspects of Utopia sound completely absurd, especially the fact that they all live communally.
However, he sees that Raphael is exhausted and doesn't seem very good at taking criticism anyway, so he drops the issue for now.
More ends by saying that there are some good things about the Utopian way of life, but is skeptical they'll ever appear in Europe.
How's that for an ambiguous ending?
