In the book "Matched", Casia tells us all about her world and the society she lives in. She struggles with her desires to go against the rules imposed upon the citizens and her dreams which are contrary to the rules she must follow. The entire story is told from her perspective. She lives in a world where everything is taken care of for her, there are no personal decisions to be made, not about what she eats, who she marries, where she lives, what job she does, how many children she has, or how long she will live. Society takes care of everything. Despite all of this, she suffers from stress and inner turmoil.
