Society Exposed In Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury

Within the first book of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the fireman Guy Montag had changed to a societal outcast through questioning the conformity ingrained into his mind. After burning a woman for refusing to leave behind her books, Montag talked with his wife Mildred about why she would essentially commit suicide for books. In this epiphany, he realizes “‘There must be something in books, things we can’t imagine, to make a woman stay in a burning house” to which Mildred then replies “She was simple-minded.” (48). Because Montag burned this woman, unlike the rest of society shown in the microcosm of his wife, he begins to question the illegality of books instead of adamantly questioning the criminal.

After Montag read the books, despite his wife’s lack of interest, he realizes he needs help understanding the material, what it means, and why books are outlawed. He remembers an old man named Faber, an old English professor, whom he had met before the ban of books. Montag speaks to Faber after multiple tries, and eventually convinces Faber to help him by putting an earpiece in Montag’s ear to give guidance.

Deep down, the people of the city know there is something wrong with their lifestyle, but their minds are so influenced by the government that they do not allow themselves to feel those negative feelings. The society portrayed in this novel is almost the complete opposite from modern society today.
