Society In Fahrenheit 451

This quotation refers to the philosophy of their society. It is socially criticized because it gave everybody access to the same information and therefore not allowing anyone to think freely. In their society, intelligence means nothing. Referring to the first quotation, if they are told to know something, then they will not ask questions, and therefore everyone will be equal in their knowledge. In this civilization, one is not allowed to be intellect because someone who is stronger in that area has more to offer, like the 'bright boy ', who is hated by others who are not as strong. The society wants children to attend school earlier, "we 've lowered the kindergarten age year after year until now we 're almost snatching them from the cradle." (Ray Bradbury, 1953, p.60) This is an example of social criticism because the younger the children are attending

Ray Bradbury wrote a variety of Social Commentary into his book, Fahrenheit 451. The first sign in the book that something was wrong with this society was when Montag’s wife had overdosed. She was listening to the Seashells and watching the T.V. and those things brainwash everybody into thinking about how society is supposed to be. She is brainwashed and had forgotten about taking pills so she had overdosed before. “... In her ears the little Seashells, the thimble radios tamped tight… An instant before his foot hit the object on the floor, he knew he would hit such an object” (12). He tells of how Montag found his wife on the bed. Dead and with pills on the ground, overdosing and not realizing it because she was so tranced with the radios in her ears. Then later, Clarisse does a whole social justice speech on how school and the people in it are, which is relatable to today’s way of school life to some extent. She says, “Oh, they don’t miss me… I’m antisocial, they say. I don’t mix… I’m very social… It all depends on what you mean by social, doesn’t it?... Being with people is nice. But I don’t think it’s social to get a bunch of people together and not let them talk, do you? An hour of Tv class, an hour of basketball or baseball or painting pictures… we never ask questions, or at least most don’t; they just run the answer at you… That’s not social to me at all… But everyone I know is either shouting or dancing around like wild or beating up one another. Do you notice how
