Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury emphasis his belief on censorship and how the future society will be if authority controls the daily aspect of life. Ray Bradbury does this by not allowing anyone to own or read a book, because the society believes that books provide the citizen with unnecessary and false thoughts, if the person is caught with books your whole house is burned and then the individual will be incarcerated. Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 expresses the dangers of censorship through limiting the citizens access to knowledge, removing Constitutional Rights, and establishing a realistic allegory similar to today’s society. There are many dangers how censorship limits citizens access to knowledge in many ways.

Fahrenheit 451 Theme Analysis Sir Francis Bacon once said, “ipsa scientia potestas est” or “knowledge is power” and we often say this to encourage education amongst others. However, the power and knowledge struggle in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is a prevalent theme in the book.

Censorship is necessary to an extent. It protects society from ideas and images that are deemed inappropriate for the public, but it also hinders them from experiencing another point of view. A certain amount of censorship is needed when raising children, because exposing them to mature themes too early is harmful to their growth and development. This belief is what prompts parents to call for the banning of certain books in schools. They feel a certain theme in the book is inappropriate and they do not want their children exposed to it.
