The Role Of Discipline In Farenheit 451

With the introduction of the idiot box, things began to quickly develop. Changes were made to support the enormously growing population, but the world could not adapt. When Captain Beatty visits Montag, he says to him,“Radio. Television. Things began to have mass.” (Bradbury 51) he then follows up with, “And because they had mass, they became simpler.” (Bradbury 51) Everything is cut short from books, films, shows, and even schools to make room for the one thing that matters, pleasure. Discipline is of no importance when things could be made simpler instead.
