Examples Of Imagery In Fahrenheit 451

Mildred's influenced Montag in a negative way. For example Montauk walked into the bedroom and kicked "[an] empty sleeping pill bottle that was full at the start of the day" showing that Mildred taken all of the pills in the bottle.(13) Mildred she would rather take pills and not think which Montag grew to abhor. As we often do when we sleep "Mildred slept with seashells in her ears" just like the radio or the tv we leave on when we sleep.(13) As many of us do today she spends much of her time watching tv or listening to a device unconnected to a social life.

Mildred is an average member of society but yet, is alone. Mildred’s only real conversations are with or about the television. Millie answered the phone and immediately answered with “Yes, the WHite Clown’s on tonight!”(Bradbury 70). There was no asking of how their days were, just the television. When Millie hear a conversation about not caring when one's husband dies, she immediately thought of a show she had watched, not even thinking about the thought of how heartless not mourning a dead husband was. One of the first times Mildred is introduced in the novel, she is shown after attempting suicide, and most people who are suicidal do not feel loved, but instead live a dull, vapid life. One shocking detail of the city is how much the population is abating because of suicide. Mildred doesn’t even have much of a reaction when she is saved by the technicians, which truly shows her detachment from true feelings. As the novel progresses, Mildred is still surrounding herself with her television and acting as an average member of society. By doing this, she is unknowingly separating herself from the world, which is exactly what the society wants her to do. If all the people in the city were talking and having conversations about important things, they may start thinking, which, in the opinions of the city, is the worst thing that could

Mildred is so detached from life itself because of all of her distractions, from the 3-walled “family” to the sleeping pills she uses plenty of everyday. Montag realizes this and comes to the realization that the society he lives in is too dead minded to have any unique thoughts or original ideas. The reason he had even asked Mildred this question was because he has started to think about the morals of his society earlier on. This was shown when Montag had to go on a case for a house that had books within it. When the firefighters arrived to the house, they found a woman with plenty of books.

In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury tells a story about the utopian future where the government controls human identity. In that society there is no place for free thoughts. Those who read are outlawed and sometimes killed. On the first pages of the novel, Juan Jimenez wrote a striking quote:” If they give you ruled paper write the other way”, and that quote pretty much shows the author’s attitude toward public pressure, censorship and oppression. It unquestionably can be stated that without knowledge there is no freedom, books- are the only answer to the demise of the oppressor.

The text is communicating in a way of humans not articulating who they are, what they are fearful of, or what they are hiding behind. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is conveying how his characters in the text do not want to see what is out in the real world. Also, he is communicating using something that everyone struggles with, finding who they are and what they are afraid of. The books are what they are afraid of not wanting to see what is out there, not wanting to find out the reality. Guy Montag was one of the few who wanted to seek pleasure and thought he could seek that from books. For this reason, reading made him comprehend that he was not happy, he did not love his wife, and he did not like what he was becoming. The firemen in the book were a group who would burn houses down that had books in them. Books were so prohibited that if someone had them in their custody their house would be burnt down along with their books. The real world is what everyone was focused on hiding from the books were a big part of that. Therefore, Ray Bradbury is telling his audience to come out to get out of a comfort zone.

There is a reoccurring problem of people feeling empty and alone. This is why so many people are willing to commit suicide in this story. Montag comes home to Mildred one night, and she has taken all her sleeping pills. He hurriedly calls the emergency services, but two handymen show up. Surprised, he says they are not doctors and will not be able to save her. The men go on to say that they get nine or ten of these cases a night and to not worry. This proves how bad the problem of suicide has gotten. The people desperately try to use technology, cars, radios, television families, and many other things to try to fill this void, but none of it

Guy Montag, in Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, exhibits great change through his actions, thoughts, and choices that completely shifts his views of the world around him, as he transitions from an enforcer of the tyrant, censoring government, to an outlaw, a fugitive trying to break the tight-knit conformist view of society. Through this change, he begins to question everything he once believed in: his job, his lifestyle, and even his own wife.

She beginned the book showing she did not care, and carried that same mentality through the rest of the book.
