The present inquiry attempts to analyze the process of apocalyptical dystopian narrative of Lois Lowry's, The Giver, in light of Foucauldian critical reading. As a dystopian author, Lowry focused more on the methods of social control used by the totalitarian government against people. The components of people differences, memories, and cultural entities can function as self-identification and authoritarian opposition. Lowery opinions are, illuminated by the Foucauldian perspective, attempted to be modified and carried social change which could be used to the benefit of populace. The study's objective is to elucidate the ugly truth of dystopian representation and its negative affect on the community. Additionally, the polarity between power and resistance raises as notable issues of the culture studies. As a corollary, the development of uniform identities depends on the eradication of the memories, subjectivity and talents of those people who are unable to resist the imperializing authority.
