More and Utopia Part Deux (2)

We continue with More's Utopia Book 2. More gives us a description of Utopia, the island is crescent shape of a moon. There are fifty-four cities on the island, all similar in make-up and design. These cities seem to be well fortified and defensible. They go on to give us the make up of the Utopian society and the roles the citizens in the cities. The slave section was particularly interesting. Utopia doesn't condemn slavery at all, they are used as labor force, maybe to help rehabilitate them back to freedom. More is clearly impressed by the way Raphael describes Utopia, but some of the ideals and customs of Utopia some what far fetched compared to societies of Europe.
