Little Brother

chapter 4

Marcus laments to himself, “God help me, I submitted to her will” after giving up his password to “severe hair cut woman.” There is something interesting in this passage that shows the reader just how dearly Marcus holds the security of his password ... any ideas what?

I think a big theme in this book is rebellion or subversion to authority. Giving up the password is exactly what Marcus is philosophically and morally opposed to. By giving up his passwords to the severe haircut woman he is becoming part of the system, a system which he loathes.
