When I first began reading Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, I thought that it would be the same story as other dystopian pieces of literature; however, after further analyzing the novel I found that Bradbury used many allusions from famous pieces of literature. These allusions show foreshadowing, irony, and the main character, Guy Montag’s thoughts about the totalitarian government in Fahrenheit 451. Throughout Fahrenheit 451 several allusions are made to pieces of literature or to historical figures. Bradbury uses these allusions to foreshadow events in the story. “‘Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God’s grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out’” (Bradbury 65).

Although he was very thankful for her kindness, he could not thank her, for he knew he was going to have to drop out again to help out at home.

The articles concept of the literary criticism of night is to give an opinion on how the book, Night was written. The overall viewpoint from the critics of the book was that it was not thoroughly written in complete detail nor did it show depth of the main character, but it was imaginative and an intriguing autobiography mixing facts with a little a bit of hallucination. Many of the authors compared Wiesel’s work to other famous authors and poets like Anne Frank and John Donne, saying that it focuses on the connections and experiences of the camp and how Elie went through a traumatizing time in his life that has changed him forever like Anne Frank did. In addition, the article explains why the novel is important in sharing the interpretation of the holocausts with many people since the novel is very popular. The authors all agree that Wiesel’s work and his technique in writing the autobiography was a big accomplishment stating that it is hard to turn graphic horrific events into a literary form and make it aesthetically pleasing to people who want to learn more about life during the holocaust.
