Theme Of Freedom In Fahrenheit 451
Freedom is a huge necessity in our civilization and society. Freedom is something we all need. Stories “Fahrenheit 451” , “Allegory of the cave”, and “2081 Harrison bergeron” all highlight the fact that our freedom is something we all need in order to grow as a person or society.

    Another character that affects Montag in the book is Faber. When Montag goes to Faber’s house for advice on books, Faber tells him, “It’s not books you need, it’s some of the things that once were in books… The same infinite detail and awareness that could be projected through radios and televisors but are not” (84). Faber really gets Montag to think when he says this. He gets Montag to realize that there really is something missing in his life, and that thing that is missing can be found in books. Another way that Faber affects Montag is when he says, “We are living in a time when flowers are trying to live on flowers, instead of growing of good rain and black loam” (85). When Faber says this, it makes Montag realize that he isn’t living…

    Fahrenheit 451 Literary Analysis

    So he contacted an old man he met awhile ago that he suspected of storing books in his house which would be illegal. The old man ended up being a retired English professor named Faber who gave his three things that are missing in their society. The first reason he gave to Montag he stated books “...show the pores in the face of life”, and that statement shows that people don’t like literature because shows the bad qualities of humans (Bradbury 83). The second reason is that people can be convinced of something because they don’t have the “leisure to digest it”, or time to think of something deeply so they believe the first thing that is said is true (Bradbury 85). The last reason was “the right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction of the first two” (Bradbury 85). All of these missing things can make people believe the world is a perfect place and everyone is happy. Life needs imperfection, and if we think we know everything we would believe everything is just…

(BS-2) This has caused them to destroy their relationships with family and friends. (BS-3) Some people are “different” and actually care about living life to the fullest and focusing on things that matter. (TS) Most of the people in this sick society are too caught up in electronics, and because of this they don’t care to fix their broken relationships or look at what people have on the inside, not just the surface.…

    Analysis Of Montag Quotes In Fahrenheit 451 '

    I know this quote is quite long, but I feel like its very important. I feel like Montag is finally expressing his feelings. In this quote you can see how much Clarisse affected him in the long run. Montag has started questioning everything and he has become different from the rest of the population, and also Mildred, she cares more about her 'television family' than she does about Montag. And honestly Mildred doesn't see the point in books, she thinks books are pointless because she can't communicate with the peoples in the book, but she can communicate with her 'family' in the walls. I feel like this quote tells a lot, Montag is getting everything off his chest and he has acknowledged that there is an issue. His society is very impersonal…
