Intro: Ray Bradbury refers to the book of Revelation towards the end of Fahrenheit 451. Something that I find to be coincidental is that the book of Revelation is also the very last book of the bible. At the end of the book‚ when the bomb goes off‚ everything seems to go down hill. Montag seems to believe as if all hope is lost. Will things ever change for Montag and the others? Will society ever get better? Throughout Fahrenheit 451‚ Ray Bradbury alludes to quotes that refer to something that

know‚ I am the defense attorney representing Edmond Dantés‚ who has been charged with murder. Before you deliver the final verdict‚ let me remind you why Edmond Dantés is irreproachable in this court and why the prosecution is accusing unjustly. To begin‚ the prosecution focuses on the fact that Edmond Dantés escaped from jail‚ supplied poisons‚ and somehow caused the deaths of a few people. The prosecution‚ in this case‚ is wrong. Monsieur Dantés did escape from the Chateau d’If‚ the prison he was

Two good examples that portray physical setting being used in different ways to communicate the themes are Revelations by Alvin Ailey in 1960 and Cross Channel by Lea Anderson in 1992.

The short story “Revelation” by Flannery O’Connor conveys the story of two random groups of people in a doctor’s waiting room. The main character‚ Mrs. Turpin‚ is a very religious and self-opinionated woman who passes judgment upon African-Americans‚ poor people‚ and other people of her community she believes are beneath her‚ economically and morally. The theme of the story is “do not judge a book by its cover.” The appearance of a person does not always depict the person inside. What a person looks

These quotes offer a great deal in the context of whole book. Many of the situations depicted in the book present the same idea‚ the idea that most people fear change and would rather remain in their dark corners rather than revealing themselves to the light of God.
