Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury :: Ray Bradburys Fahrenheit 451

Fahrenheit(postnominal) 4511 In the futuristic novel Fahrenheit 451, the author, Ray Bradbury, expresses several puzzles that knead the story. M both of these problems have to do with the behavior of the quite a little in the twenty- ordinal century society. One major problem is that firemen have been given the lineage of burning books in order to stop the spreading of ideas, and to cause solely of society to reform and therefore be happy. Many people do not agree with this and they try hard to keep books alive, even though they may be killed for it. Guy Montag, who in the beginning of the story is a proud fireman, later doubts his job and joins those who preserve books. One person who teaches him virtually books is an sure-enough(a) man named Faber who is a retired English professor. During a conversation between Montag and Faber, Montag states, Thats the good part of dying when youve nothing to lose, you run any risk you want(pg.85). What he means by this is that he is volition to risk his life to help save books for others to read and enjoy. However, Montags wife, Mildred, does not care for books as much as Montag because she knows books are illegal and she fears for her life. Mildred tells Montag how terror-struck she is by saying, They might come and burn the house and the family. Why should I read? What for?(pg.73) Montag is upset when he hears this because he sees that there is a problem with burning books. Indeed there is a problem because books allow people to express themselves, learn, dream, and have fun. In a society such as the one entrap in Fahrenheit 451, people are not allowed to experience any of these things and they are less individual. Another problem found in Bradburys future is that some schools and businesses have been shut take simply because they encourage and promote reading and books. In the novel, books are do to be thought of as evil and are no longer produced. Book companies along with some s chools and publishing agencies have been closed delinquent to the ban of books. On page 75 Bradbury tells of the closing of schools by writing, The old man admitted to being a retired English Professor who had been thrown turn out upon the world forty years ago when the last liberal arts college shut for lack of students and patronage.
