Good vs. Evil or The Evil inside the Hero Good and Evil depend on each other. Both of them cohere. Without Evil‚ there would not be any Good‚ as Safranski says that you cannot believe in the Devil without believing in God as one meets the Devil halfway to God . Evil is neccesarry in fairy tales as it fascinates everyone. What would fairy tales be without wicked witches‚ mean trolls and domineering monarchs?

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
