Many people wonder, “Who is the real hero in Fahrenheit 451?” Some people believe that Faber is the hero, or even Clarisse! The real hero in Fahrenheit 451 is Guy Montag because he is brave, refuses to form with society, and pursues what he believes in.

Quote one: “ He saw himself in her eyes, suspended in two shining drops of bright water, himself dark and tiny, in detail, the lines about his mouth, everything there as if her eyes were two miraculous bits of violet amber that might capture and hold him intact. Her face, turned to him now, was fragile milk crystal with a soft and constant light in it.” pg.5.

How does life make you feel...Are you depressed? Are you lonely? Are you happy? Are you stressed. Are you okay? Are you giving up? Are you living a life that you don’t love or are you proud about who you are? Montag thinks that he is happy, but he doesn't find out that he really isn't until Clarisse truly shows him. Honestly, he is just living a life that doesn’t show him what life is really all about. He is missing out on so many moments because he isn’t allowed to read or feel emotion. Ray Bradbury wants us to know that sometimes there is no such thing as a Utopia...in the world, or in society where we live. Everyone has hard times, but what if they just don’t stop, what if they continue until the day you die?

In the book Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray. Bradbury, books are the root of all the problems that occur. In this quote Montag is expressing to Mildred on why there’s a need for books, and the quote also explains the warfare that will continuously happen all through the story, “‘Is it true, the world works hard and we play, is that why we’re hated so much?’” (70) Throughout the story Montag becomes more and more aware of the world around him.

In Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury shows us that this book is described as a totalitarian dystopian story. In the beginning of the book he explains the hatred that is held by the people against books and he carries out this theme throughout the whole story. By stating “So now you see why books are hated and feared? They show the pores in the face of life. The comfortable people want only wax moon faces, poreless, hairless, expressionless” (Bradbury 83). This quote is stating that the government is taking control over people by taking the little things, such as books, that provide mankind with information on a day to day basis, making it easy for the people’s minds to grow and become more educated. Within the quote that is used, Bradbury uses imagry when he says “pores in the face of life” he is refuring to the knowledge that comes from the books that leads people to questioning the authority compared to the ignorance of the society that is shown throughout the novel.

In Ray Bradbury’s novel, “Fahrenheit 451”, he creates a futuristic society impacted by censorship, where citizens are forced to conform to the government’s manipulation. In this society, all forms of literature became a dangerous gateway to knowledge and are regarded as signs of controversy. Books have been outlawed, and thus the human mind, individuality and thought have all become a blurred existence. Society has become senseless. Merely a place where a fireman’s profession is burning books and any houses found with books kept inside. The novel’s protagonist, Montage, also a fireman, is the narrator of the given quote above. Through the repetitive word “burning”, Bradbury emphasizes Montage’s sense of revelation. Montage realizes he must

The government’s role and control of the flow of knowledge and memory only benefits themselves. It can be seen that the government controls the withdrawal of knowledge and memory through the firemen in this society who work for the government. A scene where we can see that society is controlling and limiting the flow of knowledge and memory is when Beatty is talking to Montag inside Montag’s house when Montag is sick, “Don’t give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy” (Bradbury 58). Beatty is the fire chief in this society, so he is somewhat connected to the government because he works for them; he says to Montag that the government doesn’t give the citizens things such as philosophy

“A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it. Take the shot from the weapon. Breach man’s mind.” (Bradbury 58) Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury takes place in a futuristic dystopian society; books are burned to restrict knowledge from citizens. Guy Montag, the protagonist, is a fireman who burns the books. Montag is taken by surprise when he meets Clarisse McClellan as he is walking home from work. Clarisse is an anomaly in the society; her stark contrast in comparison to the rest of the world forces Montag to question himself. From there, a rebellion spread that sparks a change in Montag and in society. In his novel Fahrenheit 451 author Ray Bradbury constructs the idea that censorship of knowledge causes citizens to discontinue questioning

“Are you happy?” That was the question that changed Montag’s life forever. The day Clarisse asked him this was a day that he would never forget. He will never forget it because this one, little question made him rethink his whole life. Everything he had ever thought to be true was wrong. It was the beginning of his new life, and he didn’t even know it yet. It’s amazing to think that this one question, the one that others would have just overlooked, this simple question could have changed someone’s life completely. But it did.

Thesis The theme of actions have consequences, applies in both Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, and “Harrison Bergeron”, by Kurt Vonnegut. First Example from Fahrenheit 451: To begin, in Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, a citizen tipped off the firemen about her neighbor, who might own unauthorized book. Almost instantaneously, the firemen appeared at the suspicious neighbor’s front door.

Montag from Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, in my opinion, is ignorant. I think this because in the book, Montag is always following the crowd. In part three, Granger says, “I’ve been running ever since. Do you want to join us, Montag?” Montag immediately replies with, “Yes.” He gives no thought as to where he would be going, what he would be doing, or anything more. He hadn’t even known these people before stumbling upon them, yet he is so quick to trust and follow them like a lemming. With the thought of a lemming in mind, Montag also just follows the crowd without a second thought. In part two, Faber is talking to Montag and says, “The public itself stopped reading of its own accord. You firemen provide a circus now and then at which buildings

In an indifferent society that only tracks, copies, and pretends, diversity is unthought of. However, Guy Montag, the protagonist in Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, is not like the rest of his society. Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451 is set in a futuristic time where independent thinking is outlawed. Bradbury’s novel represents a time and place in which individuals who want to learn and grow are thought of as uncivilized. These “uncivilized” people are being thrown into insane asylums because of their desire towards knowledge. Policemen are called to the scene if someone is in possession of a book. Firemen are then instructed to scorch all the books and sometimes even the entire house if it seems it is a threat to society. Guy Montag, the

(AGG) As Henri Frederic Amiel once said, “Materialism coarsens and petrifies everything, making everything vulgar, and every truth false.” (BS-1) Throughout this book, the only priority for the people is to have a bunch of items. (BS-2) Even though they have a lot of items, they lose all their morals. (BS-3) However, the people who don’t value objects obtain much more. (TS) One of the main messages in the book, Fahrenheit 451 is that people of society are very materialistic which causes them to lose all sentiment.

A society that values technology and suppresses knowledge has been brainwashed into believing what others have deemed unnecessary, although not true. In Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury depicts Montag’s cold, lifeless room in order to suggest that the technology-ruled, dystopian society has been corrupted, leading to a feeling of emptiness.
