Monarch of Pointland

The Monarch of Pointland appears in Edwin Abbott's 1884 novel "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions." It exists as the sole inhabitant and ruler of Pointland, a dimensionless realm that the Sphere shows to A Square during his metaphysical explorations. The Monarch represents the ultimate extreme of solipsistic existence, being completely unable to conceive of anything beyond itself.

“	"Behold yon miserable creature. That Point is a Being like ourselves, but confined to the Non-dimensional Gulf. He is himself his own World, his own Universe; of any other than himself he can form no conception; he knows not Length, nor Breadth, nor Height, for he has had no experience of them; he has no cognizance even of the number Two; nor has he a thought of Plurality; for he is himself his One and All, being really Nothing."	„
