Fahrenheit 451 is a novel by Ray Bradbury, which portrays Bradbury’s prediction of how one day humans will forget the joy of reading. This story takes place in a future dystopian city, where any actions related to books are illegal. The novel’s protagonist, Guy Montag, is a fireman, whose job involves burning books for a living. Throughout the story, the citizens live their mundane lives, which includes watching parlor walls (television) and having minimal connections with their friends or family. In part three of the novel, Bradbury writes about Guy Montag and how he is on-the-run from the officials of the city because of the many crimes he has committed such as reading books, hiding books, and the act of murder against his boss. Montag then joins a group of literary enthusiasts who are also hiding from the officials. The group is suddenly shocked to see a bombardment happening in the city. As the bombs fall, the passage shows Montag’s inner thoughts, emotions and his perspective on the explosion. This passage may seem like an average action scene at first glance, but through a deeper analysis, one can find Ray Bradbury’s use of contrasting words, variety of languages, and allusions, to suspense readers and foreshadow a new beginning to the meaningless lives of the citizens.
