How Does Montag Change In Fahrenheit 451

Introduction: Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451, the book Fahrenheit 451 is about Guy Montag and his transformation from a guy that used to burn books to a rebel that started to read and love books. Montag lives in an oppressive society that attempts to eliminate all sources of complexity, contradiction, and confusion to ensure uncomplicated happiness for all its citizens. The citizens were losing their memory from the lack of knowledge and over usage of technology. In the novel, Montag meets Clarisse, who influenced him to question the government. Her death sparked a very unique sense of grief to Montag. Later on, Montag decided to learn how to read and memorize from a former English professor, Faber. The two concoct a plan, in which Faber will

To lose your memories is to lose your life’s purpose. You lose something that defines the decisions you make in your life. You start to lose out on the relationships you have worked years to form and build, and the experiences that you have had dissolve as if they never came to occur. The concept of this is extremely unrealistic for a few reasons. The first reason is that although Mildred has lost a portion of her memory, and continues to do so, she functions pretty normally on a scale of day to day life. She gets along fairly well with her husband (before he starts reading books), she remembers to take medication, she remembers her parlor family, she knows who her friends are, but despite this can’t remember where it all started. Relationships require love, you don’t forget where you met a person if you love them. It’s hard to understand how MIldred manages to keep all her friends and to keep her relationship with her husband stable for so many years despite her emptiness. To top it all off, the idea of losing your memories not reading books and watching “parlors.” Aside from this, the lack of protagonists in the book make Montag’s character development seem a lot more rushed. The only point that anchored Montag to go from being a fireman to a “criminal” was Clarisse’s small talk, and then Clarisse’s death. No other

The restated thesis of our presentation is: We believe some of the positive elements in the plot of Fahrenheit 451 are an engrossing ending, balance of internal and external conflicts, and predicting our future, while some negative things were the absurdity, incohesive scenes, and lack of protagonists. The significance of Fahrenheit 451 is that it favors literature and critical thinking skills, and against censorship and blind conformity. This teaches us that we should think for ourselves and not let an external factor brainwash us and control us. The value of this book is super important, because it teaches us that the growing number of technology and the lessening of books is having a negative impact on us. We can even see that today, TVs and smart devices are taking the place of books, while the growing concept of AI is making people less creative. While the plot and conflict of the novel and its ups and downs, overall, it teaches us a great lesson of valuing interpersonal relationships, our creativity, critical thinking skills, and the traits of humanity. There are a few ways in which the book Fahrenheit 451 could be improved. Firstly, the idea of people losing their life's purposes and memories seems a bit unrealistic and takes away from the science fiction aspect of the story. It would be better to make it more believable. Also, the
