The Fahrenheit 451 Essay Rebellion means to stand up for what one believes is right. Rebellion involves hardship and struggle. It involves betrayal from the people who are closest to one. It causes one to realize the true nature of people. In the book Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury, rebellion plays an important role in Montag’s journey through betrayal, hardship and giving him a better realization of the world. In Montag’s journey he faces betrayal many times. Montag betrays the firemen by stealing a book from Mrs. Blake’s house. The narrator explains as Montag’s hand acts on its own, “Now it plunged the book back under his arm, pressed it tight to sweating armpit…” (Bradbury 37-38).
