How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
Aberrations live among us; they're not dangerous like Anomalies, who have to be separated from Society. Aberrations usually acquire their status due to an Infraction. (5.47)
We get our first hint of the class structure in Cassia's society and the ways in which people acquire their class status—through the crimes they commit. We don't know, however, how Anomalies come to be.
Quote #2
The Outer Provinces are on the geographic fringe of the Society, where life is harder and wilder. Sometimes people refer to them as the Lesser Provinces, or the Backward Provinces, because they have so little order and knowledge there. There's a higher concentration of Aberrations there than in the general populace. And even Anomalies, some say. (6.11)
If those aren't some classist thoughts, then we don't know what is—Aberrations live on the fringes of society and are referred to as "Lesser." Ugh. Are there any parallels in our own society?
