Foucault's Fantasy

It is hard for me to be sure what Mr. Foucault was feeling. There are so many ways to look at an essay like this; maybe he felt as a prisoner of the Panopticon because of the constant ridicule he had to face for his sexual preference. Never knowing if he was being observed or frowned upon and facing verbal abuse for his choices. I can understand how these situations could make a person compare his own life to a prison, still I find it hard to believe that this was an essay written with the intent of arousing pity.

The analogy of the small village in a state of quarantine, forced to adhere to certain rules, no mater if they agree or disagree, and the must cooperate or fall on pain of death. This shows society using force to isolate the minority so that they wont infect the majority. Once the threat of the plague has passed the village is released and allowed to integrate with the rest of society once again. This method is similar to the Panopticon because it incorporates the idea that you must cooperate because someone is always watching and someone will always be aware!

I think that Mr. Foucault's intent was to present this design as a lifestyle. A model to be used to run a nation or maybe even a world. One central towering figure that would observe all, a surrounding society fearful of what they may be observed doing, therefore being very careful not to do anything that is not approved of. Fouc
