Dystopia In Fahrenheit 451

In two stories from different decades have one similarity in common. They both are stories that show and take place within a dystopian society. The book Fahrenheit 451 is the story of a firefighter that lives in a dystopian society that does not allow books to read for a source of media. Along with the book Night, a teenage boy named Elie who lived through the Holocaust. Even though that the Holocaust was an actual event in our world's history, it is still considered a dystopian society. Despite the thoughts of many individuals within these dystopian societies, the governments try to take over and control these persons thoughts on the way society works. The two books Fahrenheit 451 and Night are similar in many ways, because of the fact that both governments try to control the way the people within them live.

The word utopia originates from Sir Thomas More’s novel of the same name, Utopia. Sir Thomas More created the term as an intentional homophone of the word “eutopia”, which is a Greek word meaning “good place”. (Sterling, 2015) “Utopia”, on the other hand, means “no place”, which implies either an impossibility of existence or the results of attempting to bring about such existence. The reasons why a utopia is so destructive to societies are that each person has their own vision of perfection and it is impossible to make everyone agree; if everyone made their own utopias there would be conflict between their objectives. Also, human nature is flawed and cannot accommodate perfection.

In the future, the job of firemen morphs from putting fires out to burning books. The story Fahrenheit 451 revolves around this issue of book burning, but there is a deeper meaning to the book. Bradbury is warning that the monopolizing effect of social media will transform generations to come into a society with no genuine connections, no distinctive thoughts, and excessive reliance on technology. This book was written in 1951, and today, the propositions are no longer fiction, but are becoming a reality.

The typical utopian world that people dream of consists of freedom, equality and political order. Dystopian fiction, however, is only the illusion of a perfect world. In reality, a dystopia is the complete opposite of a utopian society. It is commonly written to warn the reader of what might come if a certain way of life continues. In Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury predicted many issues that plague society today. The larger societal and individual issues Bradbury warns against are the consequences from the lack of social interactions, the spread and focus on technology, and the rise in violence.

Being happy in life is an important feeling for everybody. Happiness is shown by somebody being satisfied, blissful and overall in a state of pleasure. In the novel Fahrenheit 451, Many characters such as Mildred, Montag and Faber all show different forms of happiness and freedom. Mildred, a cold, distant and dull character demonstrates without knowledge, freedom is impossible and real happiness is unreachable. She seems to be in great pain throughout her life, and her obsession and attachment to her “family” on the television is what causes her to not confront her own life problems. Montag who begins the book having a passion for his profession, burning books, changes quickly. After being faced

Ray Bradbury´s wrote a book about this dystopian society where everything in our world is backwards in their world, they can speed, they burn books, and everybody is always gloomy and sad. Montag changed his mindset throughout the book, he went from burning books to saving them from getting burnt. Mildred on the other hand, continuously stayed the same throughout the book. She beginned the book showing she did not care, and carried that same mentality through the rest of the book. Ray Bradbury´s uses contrasting characters in Fahrenheit 451 to illustrate the differences within views of a dystopian society with his development of Montag and Mildred.

The short story Fahrenheit 451 and Equilibrium have comparable characters, themes and settings, and both conclude that forced utopian societies always fail, and that unfortunately there is no “perfect world”. Throughout history, choices have been made to make our world a better place. A dystopian society is often perceived as a better version of our actual world. However, in many examples, it is shown to have negative effects on society. Utopia is a futuristic world in which all are considered equal, which is commonly used feature of science fiction.

Ever wonder what life in a dystopian society would be like? A dystopian society is a society where nothing is perfect, the bad people live and lurk and life as people know it would cease to exist. Life today would be turned upside down and nothing would ever be the same. But some dystopian societies are similar to our society as well as different. There are many clear attributes and differences in the novels Fahrenheit 451, A Night Divided, and the screenplay “2081” compared to modern-day society, many of these involve entertainment, technology, and government.

In literature, the multiple demonstrations of how futures might play out or how it might have been. Dystopian novel are books where character live society in fear mainly because of an opposing force which may be wielding power. In the book Fahrenheit 451, you can clearly see that what is happening is of a dystopian future fully controlled in how it functions. The book is dystopian in the way it shows how society is run, how censorship is enforced, and how the character discovers that their something is wrong.

Today technology controls almost everything we do, from the way we go places to what we eat. With this power of technology comes good and evil, medicines and poisons. Through technology we have accesses way more information than before. For example every day you can absorb as much knowledge as King Henry the eighth did in his entire life. This is all due to the improvement of technology. Sadly technology also has a bad side, with faster communication, rumors can be spread faster and kids can be bullied easier. The internet can easily become a second world for many people, especially young adults. Technology is the basis for many relationships, especially long distances. Match.com and other dating sites take advantage of the fact so many people use technology as a way to make or maintain relationships. With technology comes a large amount of knowledge that is easily accessible. Some of the knowledge offends or scares many people but our government hasn’t gotten the point of completely censoring everything. In Fahrenheit 451, a novel about a dystopian society, Ray Bradbury illustrates what he believes our world should be like right now. This scarily accurate novel demonstrates the way technology has affected knowledge and relationships in both our world and the world of Fahrenheit 451 in the same way.

In the year 1516, Sir Thomas More was the first to use the word in his book, Utopia'. He came up with this word coming from 'ou' meaning 'not' and 'topos' meaning 'place', in Greek. The word started as a pun. Sir Thomas More did not really believe that perfection could ever be reached in the world, so he made utopia simply mean, "not a place". As life went on, however, we looked for the word for a perfect world. The world in which all our problems are solved and people are at peace. It seems strange to use the word 'utopia', as it implies we will never reach this goal, but history proves the human race is hopeful. Somehow we make it through all these insurmountable odds and seem to prosper, while simultaneously ruining our lives. In my utopia,

Utopia can be good Eutopia or bad dystopia. Utopia’s main typical trait is its nonexistence in the real world. Gregory Glaeys and Lyman Tower Sargent explain that throughout time the trend of writing on utopias changed. From horrifying readers to devilish work that should be burned.

According to Sir Thomas More in his book Utopia, Utopia is an imaginary and indefinitely remote place of ideal perfection especially in laws, government, and social conditions .In his book, he describes a fictional society in the Atlantic Ocean. The word Utopia itself is a pun on two Greek root words: Outopia which means no place. The second root is Eutopia which means good place, and is strictly speaking the correct term to describe a positive utopia. The implication is that such a world cannot exist on Earth, despite the best of intentions by human beings. In reality, utopia is a myth. “Utopia is that which is in contradiction with reality”. (Camus).The word Utopia can be translated from the Greek as Good Place or No Place, depending on which Greek letters are used. This ambiguity was intentional on More’s part. More may not have meant to depict an ideal society; however, over the years the word utopia without the capital letter has come to mean a perfect society with an added connotation suggesting that such a society is unrealistic.
