Set in a fictional two-dimensional world, the novella employs satire to critique the rigid social hierarchy and puritanical values of Victorian society, particularly highlighting the oppression of women. Through the perspective of "A Square," the narrative explores themes of dimensions and perception, challenging readers to consider the limitations of their own understanding. Abbott's clever use of a mathematical metaphor serves to illuminate societal issues, making it both a thought-provoking and entertaining commentary on the era's cultural norms.
