The government has no right to take aways peoples natural rights of life. They would go out of their way to wipe out anything that contains knowledge, but specifically it was books they wanted to keep away. They let a woman commit suicide as they were standing before her due to her unwillingness to give up her books, something she truly believes in. Clarisse McClellan was hit by a car because thats what was acceptable in their society and the government did nothing to stop them but there is no length they wouldn’t go to if it meant keeping books away. They also forced Montag to burn down his house because he had books stashed away and his own wife turned him in.

She did nothing wrong, just walking along the sidewalk and someone thought that she was in the way of their fun, so for fun they killed her, and that's what people did for good times in their society.

The Fascist forced people out of their house and made them give up everything, they made them burn their books and if they didn’t, they would suffer serious consequences. They would be separated from their families and murdered or sent to work like slaves. They were forced out of their religion and they were not allowed to pray because to the fascist it was wrong, but it was people's safety net and it made them feel safe and secure knowing they had someone to rely
