Dystopian Society In Fahrenheit 451

Our society is heading for destruction, similar to the destruction in Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451. In this novel, the characters live in a society that is truly awful, but the author shows us that our society is heading down that path also. However, in the story, the beliefs of the main character Guy Montag change drastically, from beginning the novel as an oblivious citizen to ending it by trying to change his society for the better. Guy lives in a society in which the government outlaws books because they cause people to ponder ideas and develop new ones. Consequently, with the stories stripped from their lives as if they had never existed, the citizens of this society blindly follow their government. Throughout the novel, the

Our society that we live in at this moment may be headed for destruction.

Dystopian Literature is fictional writing that criticizes trends, norms, and existing systems through an exaggerated worst-case scenario. In both Fahrenheit 451 and Minority Report, the characteristics of the society being an illusion of a perfect utopian world and citizens under constant surveillance are displayed.

Firemen are viewed as the heroes in society who save lives. In Bradbury’s fictional and scary possible future firemen are still viewed as good people but for all the wrong reasons. They start fires and kill people with books. This technology saturated future world is an unhappy future that is possible unless certain things are preserved and viewed as vital parts to life. Fahrenheit 451 depicts people living without deep thought which makes for a very unhappy and superficial life.

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.

Every day we are surrounded by technology such as phones and computers. While we know that technology can help us to improve and advance our society, it still has a downfall. When daily tasks get easier, people get lazier. In Ray Bradbury’s, Fahrenheit 451, technology is everywhere; fast cars, interactive homes, mechanical hounds, and the parlor walls. Technology can be used to make life easier, they can emphasize human characteristics of distraction, censorship, and ignorance, which could be potentially harmful for society.

In an artiest point of view the world is their inspiration. From pop songs that depict two people falling in love, to political protest songs that have the power to unify the masses. That’s why a lot of people enter the arts, to express something that is wrong with society or the world around. Or to even expressing solution to a problem. Some artiest discover this power of spreading their own idea later on in their career, such as The Beatles, who started to write more political songs, such as “Blackbird” and “Revolution”. This way of spreading ideas and talking about issues isn’t limited to just music, but could also be convey within other arts such as painting, and what we have been learning in class, as well as in literature. The two books

A dystopian society is depicted in the second part of this novel. Montag asks Faber why books are so greatly feared in return he explains how “ They show the pores in the face of life (Bradbury 79).” The government controls all the aspects of the lives of the individuals in the community. To make them think and act the way that the government wants them to. They live in more of a fictional society that may feel real but it has no emotion or feelings which makes their lives shallow. Another example in part 2 where a dystopian or totalitarian society is shown when Montag talks to faber after reading the poems to Mildred and her friends. Montag complains about the society where “ Nobody listens any more I can’t talk to the walls because they’re

An utopian, or perfect, society is where people is over satisfied and has no complaints, obstacles about their way of life in that community. In the novel Fahrenheit 451, the government believe they have made quite such a place but in reality, the society this novel is portraying is a dystopia, where everything is bad, unpleasant, the opposite of an utopia. This depicts dystopian society because of common suicide, relationships, technology, emotions and their environment they are living in.

Ray Bradbury demonstrates through Guy Montag that a significant experience impacts an individual by shaping their future actions and opinions. A dystopian society is defined as “a community or society that is undesirable or frightening.” In the famed novel, Fahrenheit 451, readers follow the life of fireman Guy Montag. But in this dystopia, firemen start fires instead of stopping them. Throughout the novel, Ray Bradbury touches on the idea of significant events impacting someone's perspective and directing the actions they take. Between his encounters with rebel teenager and a frail professor, Montag begins to expand his thoughts and change his view on the world. *ADD MORE*

(AGG) The dystopian world that Ray Bradbury has created in Fahrenheit 451 focuses on the main idea that materials are all that is needed to survive; but what if more is not always better? (BS-1) In their society, the people have the need to be always be satisfied by their possessions that when something threatens their happiness, they no longer feel the need to subsist further. (BS-2) The power that the people have given to their objects, to control their lives, turns them into indistinguishable humans.

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.
