The Green wall symbolizes the distinct separation between the city and the wild, the separation of values and lifestyles.
Inside the green wall is the city, life in the city is organised and controlled. All the buildings are made out of glass and ciphers walk in fours to eliminate privacy, each individual’s schedule is organised in the "table of hours" which merges each individual into a "million-handed body" turning the "I" into "we". The ciphers inside the city become brainwashed by the Benefactor in believing that order and logic are superior to freedom and individuality.
While on the other hand the revolutionary group outside the green wall (the Mephi) have opposite beliefs and share similar values to us. They believe in freedom, privacy and individuality.
These are two contrasting values expressed in We. D-503 is taken through a journey which opens his eyes to both sides of the green wall which makes him question his life inside the Green wall.
