In times of chaos, the government may be ruled by too strong of a central leadership. The powerful government and absence of individual freedom was demonstrated in the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Absolute power of the government was conveyed in the way individuals were living. The government provoked abuse and became intolerable. The reading of books being illegal shows what type of government was conveyed.

In Fahrenheit 451, the books are such a big deal, if a person manages to get caught with one then the person risks being killed.
In the book “Fahrenheit 451” the government uses many strategies to control its citizens. They control the citizens through terror and intimidation.

Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury portrays the idea of mankind controlling a dystopian society through the government. Many readers at first may think society controlled mankind throughout this book, but this idea is clearly very wrong.

Unless you are an Anarchist or otherwise, you probably support the idea of having a government. Government has been an integral part of society for all of mankind, many have incessantly argued over why we have government and what the overall purpose of government is. People whose ideologies align with John Locke feel that the government’s purpose is to help all people and to not get too involved in the affairs of the people. However, those who identify with the ideas of Thomas Hobbes strongly believe that government’s purpose is to save the people from themselves because they are barbaric people that are liable to run amok, he felt by tightly restricting their rights this would be remedied. In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, this argument is
Complications in society occur perpetually. In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the government prevents all possible dilemmas between people with the use of censorship. But not only does this transpire in the novel, but it occurs in reality as well. In the book, the government gives no knowledge whatsoever of literature, communications, or media to society so they have nothing to feud or dismay about. The government ultimately hinders opposing thoughts and brainwashes people to regulate them as they please.

Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, is a uniquely shocking and provocative novel about a dystopian society set in a future where reading is outlawed, thinking is considered a sin, technology is at its prime, and human interaction is scarce. Through his main protagonist, Guy Montag, Bradbury brings attention to the dangers of a controlled society, and the problems that can arise from censorship.

After meeting a series of unusual characters, a spark is ignited in Montag and he develops a desire for knowledge and a want to protect the books.
