Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury: Character Analysis

In Fahrenheit 451, Montag meets Faber, a cowardly old man who is trying to change the society’s view on books through Montag. However, Montag realizes that Faber should not be changing the world, and instead should change himself and his cowardly ways. Faber has admitted himself that he is a coward, and requests Montag to carry out his plan for him through a device he created—an earbud, resembling a Seashell earpiece, that receives and sends sound. With this device, Faber planned to “...sit comfortably home, warning my frightened bones, and hear and analyze the firemen’s world, find its weaknesses, without danger” by giving Montag commands through the device—Montag and Faber would become one unit (87). With Faber’s commentary and advice, Montag

Beatty even explains to Montag, a fireman with growing inquiry, about “what traitors books can be” in attempts to deter him from reading. By traitors, Beatty means to express his coming away lost due to authors “all of them running about, putting out the stars and extinguishing the sun.” He argues that rather than challenging people with discovering truth themselves, it is in their best interest to not “give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with.

The quote was said by Anne’s therapists. Anne’s therapist was trying express that she is so concerned about what others think of her work.

However, her therapist wanted her to see the improvement on herself.

In many of his poems, he gives off a purpose for his writings which is to inform and inspire future readers. He wants to create a sort of relationship with these future readers.

Montag hides some books until he finds the courage to read them. He goes from burning books to a book reader, effectively demonstrating his objection towards his society. The society forces people to watch their television instead of going outside or having meaningful conversations. They don’t even have porches“’[… but Clarisse’s] uncle say that was merely rationalizing it; the real reason, hidden underneath, might be they didn’t want people sitting like that, doing nothing, rocking, talking; that was the wrong kind of social life.

In Fahrenheit 451 the books for the characters were definitely a symbol of feeling in control. The characters being able to read the books, then burn them afterwards made them feel like others didn’t have control over them and their memory and that it’s theirs to keep forever.

Them receiving the boot with the plant in it, let them know it was safe for them to return to Earth where they belong and that they could start a whole new

All that Montag wants is to make the community realize why books are important. How books can help us. Also, how books can make us feel some type of emotion.
