Knowledge is power in the world and in the world of Fahrenheit 451. Ray Bradbury emphasises this theme, and in the interview he his theme is that the more you know the more powerful you will be. In the interview with Ray Bradbury he says “Teachers inspire, libraries teach. This shows he believes that a book can teach you, but only a person can make you want to learn. In the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury Beatty has a dream and in this dream Montag says “ Knowledge is power. A dwarf on a giant’s shoulders sees the furthest of the two.” Beatty also knows this, because he doesn’t want anyone else getting this power so he burns the source the books. This shows that Bradbury believes that the way you get smarter is by getting help from others.
