Isolation In Fahrenheit 451 Essay

We see this type of situation again in the “Earl of Tennessee” chapter. Everyone in the neighborhood thinks that he has a wife, when the reality is that is just prostitutes. They assume that his a very private person and that his “blinds are always closed during the day (70)” because of that. You can connect that to the neighborhood being blind to his actions also. None of them question it just because he is a man.

They don’t realize that there is a life outside of materials, and that there is a person trying to help them understand. (STEWE-2) Clarisse tries to explain to Montag that people barely talk to each other. But when they do, “‘They name a lot of cars or clothes or swimming pools and say how swell” (28). The society is so addicted to their material objects that they only talk about them and nothing else.

Mildred has been influenced by society and represents the ideal citizen in that her social interactions are minimal, she is numb to her own emotions, and she avoids thinking for herself. Clarisse is the complete opposite of Mildred and is connected to her family and Montag, happy and a free thinker. She has been influenced by her non-conforming uncle, but since society snuffs out non-conformity, it is not surprising that Clarisse meets an abrupt end. Mildred, as the symbol of the majority, is appropriately destroyed with the rest of the society. The majority will always herd us to thoughtless, emotionless, disconnected conformity.

Edna buys her new house and brings all her personal possessions along with her, which is different from societal beliefs. Edna becomes her own person and removes herself from dependence on Leonce which was against social beliefs as women were seen as possessions of men. She reads Emerson which builds her self-reliance and self-worth. This helps her create her own choices which tend to be heresies. It is ironic that the pigeon house represents freedom from society, because pigeon houses are small and trapped.

Fahrenheit 451 Fahrenheit 451 has different types of literary devices in order to convey a specific mood making the book more appealing. In Fahrenheit 451 Bradbury uses the literary devices of diction and syntax to create the feeling of being distressed and confused while trying to read the Bible on the subway. Also a feeling of detachment and seriousness while Montag has a conversation with Mildred while she is in the bathroom getting Montag an aspirin.

On the subway Montag is being described with the words, “insane”, “gorged face”,” screaming”, and ”cry”.

Wynter instantly responds to the agents questions, like a child would respond to their parent’s question. “Well I hate entering electronic payments because I’m a paper person, so since there wasn’t a physical cheque I didn’t enter it into the book…but the money’s there.” “You’re not allowed to do that.”

This novel captures pieces of society that are slowly becoming evident in today's world. Many elements in Fahrenheit 451 shows how one's choice of conformity or individuality can affect their life and the society. Conformity is beginning to have a detrimental effect on the society because everything is the same and it is having a negative impact. Everybody is the same and “they all say the same things and nobody says anything different than anyone else” (31). They do nothing to individualize themselves.

This society has even gone as far to stop these thoughts from corrupting the people that they outlawed books. Our modern day society contrasts from Bradbury’s dystopia in many evident ways.

We were even shown the footage of her eating lunch alone in a bathroom stall on her first day of school because she had no one to sit with during lunch. This condition demonstrates that the thought of being a free thinker in our society, they must be entirely distant from it. Social pressure is a powerful force, and it can be seen when an individual meets other human beings. Therefore, the consequences of not being removed by these social pressures, we can see within the character of Cady at the beginning of the film, when she is completely separated from the other students at the school. This is not what an individual wants their lifestyle to be like, they want the sense of belonging and acceptance by other human

She doesn’t know that it could be worse. And without knowledge of how important things are, she can easily detach herself from caring about anything. Making her cold, and uncaring. The citizens of F41 have lost the ability to listen. They can hear just fine, they just don’t listen

Ah never married her for nothin’ lak dat. She’s uh woman and her place is in de home.” In reality, Jody was right, Janie never cared or thought to make a speech for the public, but the fact that Jody Starks was the one to decide for her, gave Janie a “cold” (pg. 61) sensation that ran through her spine, for she knew that this change may not bring the joy and passion she once presumed. As mayor, Jody allowed those around him (including his wife) become aware of the power and authority he had over any being both mentally and economically. To the town’s folks, it seemed that slavery had once again emerged from depths of their own flesh and color, “they had murmured hotly about slavery being over, but every man filled his assignment”

In the novel Clarisse automatically doesn’t fit into the society, she happens to be more open minded in which it makes her question any subject. Clarisse also seems very curios about other people’s lives, Clarisse shows how she 's not scared of breaking rules by talking to Montag who at the moment happens to be a firefighter. I believe Montag found her personality unique, he had never had a conversation like that with anyone and not even his wife. For example “Are you happy? she said.

Guy Montag a firefighter but instead he starts the fires. In the book Fahrenheit 451, Montag Mildred, and Beatty are impacted by the alienation. By looking at Montag, one can see he is lost which is important because he has to go to other people for help. Everyone around him was alienated from the real world and believe everything they hear.

“Did you know that once billboards were only twenty feet long? But cars started rushing by so quickly they had to stretch the advertising out so it would last” (pg.7, ch.1 The Hearth And The Salamander).
