Knowledge is power. A power that gives the people their right to have influence in society. Imagine a world where this power was taken away. In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, a fireman named Guy Montag lives in a society some time in the future where a fireman’s job is to burn all books in order to prevent people from trying to revolt against the government with knowledge, and the books are replaced by mindless technology. Montag is originally one of the majority of people who is brainwashed and conforms to this society. After meeting an unusual teenager named Clarisse who introduces him to books, Montag starts to wonder what books are really like. As he begins reading literature, Montag breaks away from the others and becomes one of these non-conformists himself, speaking out against the corrupt society. Many key aspects of the society set up by Bradbury show how technology has destroyed this fictional society and causes readers to notice similarities in today’s real society.

However, Bradbury does not only paint the truth about Montag’s society, but he also conveys a representation of our society through the media of Fahrenheit 451. The media of Fahrenheit 451 displays a rather disillusioned, ‘perfect’ image of how this society portrays itself to be even though it is the opposite.

The motif of light and pureness is magnified numerously to juxtapose the dystopian society. The untainted diction Bradbury maintains exemplifies his perspective of books, for the readers to acknowledge. Not only does he compare books to pigeons, he inserts unsullied words to further epitomize the author’s view of books.

This idea of free will contradicts this society, where people are greatly restricted in terms of what they can say, view, or learn; while being distracted with modern technologies to make them feel free and secure. Citizens are outlawed from reading books, and firemen burn houses stacked with books instead of putting out the fires. Through the protagonist Guy Montag, Bradbury illustrates a conflicts of man versus self and man versus technology, using a blended theme of ignorance and censorship-while Huxley portrays a more scientifically rooted future where the citizens are made and developed into their caste system and interests from birth. Huxley begins this novel by vividly describing the setting of this future. A building that portrays the World State’s motto “ COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY” (Huxley 1), which compromises the slogan of the society. Community stands for everyone working together in their own little niche, benefiting society as a whole. Identity on the other hand suggests that everyone is very different and unique with their own ways of living habits. Last but not least, stability which is the key and security for the society to thrive. Only through these traits, the happiness can be maintained, hiding the reality from
