In Fahrenheit 451, author Ray Bradbury created a society where people burn books, and knowledge has little to no value. Themes are abundant in this novel. First of all, one theme is broken love. Milly and Guy's relationship wasn’t good or passionate; they didn't love each other anymore, and their marriage fell apart. Similarly, another theme in Fahrenheit 451 is betrayal.

Guy brutally murders Beatty with a flamethrower after he was taunting him. burning him to death, betraying his loyalty to the firemen and Beatty as his boss and fire chief, not for the first and probably not the last time either. This idea connects to our world because most people will do anything to move ahead or excel somehow, not caring who they hurt or leave
