What Equality tries to do at the Hall of Scholars is show his box of light to the Council. He showed his box of light to them because he wanted to show that he had discovered a new thing that nobody else had discovered yet. What Equality expects to happen is that they will forget about his crime and him breaking all the rules and they will just be ok with it and let him show his discovery and let him get credit for what he has discovered. What happens is that the Council is angry and mad at him for breaking all the rules and doing something without permission so the Council is trying to decide what to do with Equality and the box or light. The Council decides to banish the box or light but then right when they said that Equality grabs the box and jumps out the window and just runs until he reaches the uncharted forest. The Council of the Candle matter here because they are the ones who came up with candles and if they allow this box of light witch is electricity and that would mean not more candles. I think what Rand is trying to say about why this society has such low technology is they are kind of old fashion and they use things that are man made. They have such low technology because they don’t use the high technology things like computers, cell phones, TV, or electricity. I personally think that we should accept all new technology. Yes there are sometimes when we should probably say no. For example there are so many new cell phones and games coming out.
