Fahrenheit 451 Analysis

Guy Montag, on the other hand, is a fireman who starts fires, rather than stops them, in order to burn books, which are banned. Anyone caught with books are reported and their house and sometimes the people themselves are burned to the ground. People in his society don’t read books, enjoy nature, spend time by themselves, think independently, or have meaningful conversations. Guy is struggling with the meaninglessness of his life. His wife doesn’t seem to care and when he meets a seventeen year old girl named, Clarisse McClellan it opens up his eyes to the emptiness in his life. After this Montag becomes overwhelmed because of the stash of books in his house that he stole while on the job. Beatty, the fire chief, says that it’s normal for every fireman to go through a stage of wondering what books have to offer. Beatty gives Montag the night to see if the books have anything valuable in them, and to return them in the morning to be burned.

The science fiction novel, Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, is about a futuristic dystopian society where everyone follows simple rules/norms: don't read books and spend time with their “families”. The families in the novel are also known as the TV’s. Whoever in the novel reads or owns books, gets put down by the hound. Montag, a protagonist in the novel, works as the fireman whom are very violent (like the rest of the society). No one in this society ever think, but when Montag (Protagonist) meets Clarisse McClellan, he becomes to question everything. Bradbury tries to portray that when people become emotionless, they don’t think about their actions which end up being violent. Bradbury’s hound (terrifying mechanical beast that kills who are unlawful) represents a type of police in the society that regulates everything and everyone. Thus Bradbury’s predictions are similar to today’s society in the police forces (which are controlled by the government).

The dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 written by author Ray Bradbury in 1953, shows what he speculates the fate of society to be. Fahrenheit 451 takes places in the corrupt United States when people no longer read books and are satisfied only by entertainment.

Mythological creatures, such as the salamander and Phoenix have influenced the change in the perception of fire.

Sandy Hook Elementary School. San Bernardino. Paris. What do all of these places have in common? They fell victim to unpredictability. Mass shootings are not new to our society, but they are still a devastating problem that should not exist any longer. Mass shootings connect to the novel, Fahrenheit 451, through both the unnecessary violence and the absence of humanity that are evident in the novel. Mass shootings are a devastating problem in our society, and now their numbers have escalated to a new level.

Montag stays home from work the next day and Captain Beatty came by to check on Montag. He started talking to Montag about the history of the fireman. He says that mass media led to the condensing of books so much that all thought was lost altogether. Mildred finds the book under Montag’s pillow and begins to say something. Montag stops her and Beatty continues talking to him. Beatty says that all books were diluted until only comic books, trade journals, and sex magazines were left. He explains that a fireman’s job changed after all houses were fireproofed. His new mission was to burn books so that one could not excel over another and make everyone else feel inferior. He then tells Montag that every fireman become curious about books and reads one. Montag then asks what happens if a fireman takes a book home. Beatty says the fireman has 24 hours to burn the book. He also states that if that person does not burn the book in 24 hours, they must burn down their house and arrest them. Beatty leaves and tells Montag to try to come in for a late shift. When Beatty leaves, Montag reveals 20 or more books hidden in the heat vent. He picks up one and starts reading it.

Later that same day, the firemen burn a house and a lady who chooses to die with her books. In his altered state of mind thanks to Clarisse, Montag saves one of woman’s books from its fate and takes it home with him. That evening at Guy’s house, he realizes that he and Mildred do not love each other as they can’t even remember when they first met. Guy makes another startling finding when Mildred tells him that Clarisse has died as a result of being run over. The next morning Guy fakes sickness to get out of going to work. He argues with Mildred over the genuineness of his sickness. Then, Captain Beatty arrives at his house and lectures Guy on how a short period of resistance to being a fireman is common among firemen and how the destruction of books was caused by society, not the government. The captain concludes with telling Guy that the work of their job keeps everyone happy. Guy asks the captain what were to happen if a fireman took home a book. Guy is informed that a fireman is allowed to keep the book for 24-48 hours; if fireman hasn’t burned the book after two days, the other firemen will do

In the society of Fahrenheit 451 there is no meaning of books to the people. Ray Bradbury describes that they think books are useless and they give people pain and awful feelings. The reason for them to think that is they are missing three things that a society needs to read or understand a book. A society needs quality of information, leisure to digest it, the right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the first two.

In the article “Nature”, Emerson displays the values of nature, and why man cannot grasp the true significance of nature without being in solitude. By presenting the real beauty of nature in a multitude of ways, the author supports his reasoning with valid evidence. Ultimately, the article is intended to render the reader various thoughts about the value of nature. First and foremost, relating to the novel Fahrenheit 451, Montag’s journey into nature reflects the one depicted by Emerson in varied ways. For example, Montag took time when he was alone to really look at the stars, is described by Emerson when he states, “If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore” (Lewis).

The novel revolves around Guy Montag who is a fireman who loves and enjoys his work that is burning books. Bradbury captures Guy’s love for his job: “It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed” (1: part 1). As usual, his work brings him and his workmates to the house of an old lady who has a secret store of books. The lady declines to walk away from her house and watch it being burned down and instead chooses to light the match herself setting the house and herself up to flames. Montag without being noticed by any of his workmates steals a book from the old woman’s secret store before it is completely burned.

Ajahn Brahm, who is a British Theravada Buddhist Monk, once stated, “ Complaining is finding faults, wisdom is finding solutions.” Ajahn Brahm is saying that when you have wisdom you are able to find solutions, which relates to Fahrenheit 451 because throughout the story Montag struggles and, in order to find solutions he obtains wisdom. In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Montag who is the main character, lives in a dystopian society with restrictions in life. Montag who is tired of living the life he lives, tries to find wisdom within books. Consequently, everything that Montag does to fight for books, leads him to wisdom that prepares him for a new future. In the end of the novel, the reader understands the most important lesson that Montag ends up acknowledging. When one goes through hard times it leads to piecies of wisdom such as; avoiding negative thoughts leads to unhappiness, growing involves having trust and being vulnerable in relationships, and that some things are worth fighting for.
