Examples Of Dystopia In Fahrenheit 451

Aldous Huxley wrote the novel, Brave New World, with the intention of warning his readers of the dangers of our growing society. He feared that technology and the urge to advance would ruin the free life we know today. Neil Postman, a social critic, contrasts George Orwell’s vision of the future and Aldous Huxley’s vision. He makes relevant assertions about Huxley’s fears that compare to our own society. His assertions are that people will come to love their oppression, the truth would become irrelevant, and that what we love with ruin us.

The Harlequin was known for his rebellious, playful ways. The Harlequin believed in justices and that everyone shouldn’t have to be on time for everything. People should make their own decisions instead of being told what to do al the time. It states that “’Repent, Harlequin!’ Said the Ticktockman” shatters the theory that increasing attention to timetables and efficient human motion not only would improve productivity but also would improve the quality of life. Instead, the resulting society reduces people to mindless robots marking time to an oppressive government’s regimented schedules.” (May).

Their childhood is a waste, not knowing what they are doing or how to have an interesting conversation. Society gives them no purpose other than to “accidentally” kill people who the government knows is a threat to the society. Most importantly, is the restricted relationships the people have. The people believe they love each other at one point and they buy a home together.For example, Mildred and Montag think they love each other, but Mildred is to blinded by the government. Also, like the rest of society, Montag doesn’t even stop for the time to think about who he loves.

MLK believed an unjust law is no law at all so breaking it in his mind is moral and right. He has a duty to break the unjust law in order to achieve the greater good, which was what his civil disobedience was based on. Martin Luther King was a strong courageous leader who sought out the best way to make the most people better off than they were. MLK’s purpose for direct action was to get people to listen and to see the injustice in America, by “seek[ing] to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue and “It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored” (King). It is this non-violent approach that MLK is so well recognized for because it was revolutionary; the normal response to such injustice should have been riots and violent protests but by being “civil” it caused people to take notice of the real

Fahrenheit 451 contains many dystopian themes and ideas to make the world come to life. The machines have caused people to rely on them. The government insists on controlling everything such as books. These ideas show just how bad the future could become, but people must find a way to stand up against these things. Everyone doesn’t always have to use violent methods either things can be accomplished peacefully.

That line shows how restricted their society is science and technology can never advance because everyone has to understand something if they want to use or make it. Equality's light box works but they say it is not real because not everyone does not understand or agree on it. In addition when someone says the forbidden word they get burned at the stake and everyone has to watch. “ We have seen one of such men burned alive in the square of the city.”(pg49) The forbidden word is forbidden because it is a transgression to think by oneself. Equality is struggling to find the word the whole novel and when he see “I” at the end of the book he breaks down in tears on the floor.

This takes place when Arthur has a dream/vision about going to Pointland. The point only knows itself and won't even conceive the idea of even just 1 other person. I can see this in today's society. People just will not accept the idea of there even being something else other than their own little world (or at least it appears that way). I see this in people all the time today, especially when it comes to change.

Think about the former state of society, the real reason for the censorship of books, and most importantly, think about themselves. They want people to have the individuality that they never had before the bombing. The real goal was to build up humanity to its fullest potential, but prevent people from losing their identity in the

However, Huxley had a good reason to fear as his dystopian novel Brave New World, showed off depictions of what could happen if the world was as conditioned in a way that was written. It is nice to fit in and go along with the crowd, but it is also good for people to have a sense of individualism. Aldous Huxley, the writer of Brave New World, saw that society was moving towards a time of no dissent or free thought. That is why he had an immense fear of the world turning to conformity and conditioning to run its civilizations. Huxley’s reasonable fears were put to a test as decades past.

Mary’s Angelic Encounter There are 73 books in the bible. Each book is filled with many passages. One of my very favorites is Luke 1:26-38. Based on the title you probably already had an idea of what it was. Anyway it is my favorite because, it shows me Mary’s courage, it represents my American Heritage Girls troop, and it inspires and gives me hope for my calling.
