Rose A. Zimbardo says that the title suggests that " the world is a zoo" (145) where animals are secluded and isolated from each other by "bars" (164) and people by their classes and education.

Would we want to spend time there? We kind of think no. The house may have a personality, but it 's not a very nice one. It has an almost "mechanical paranoia," and it continues on "senselessly, uselessly" with its tasks. When a dying dog comes in, the house doesn 't think "oh no, we have to help the dog"—it 's just "angry at having to pick up
In a future where books are banned and destroyed by the government, Guy Montag, a fireman in charge of burning books, meets a schoolteacher who dares to read and a girl who tells him of a past when people did not live in fear.
