The Scarlet Letter Vs Fahrenheit 451

To govern something means to control, influence, or regulate (a group). A government is a central body that influences laws, policies, actions, and foreign affairs of a country. There were 2 stories this year where the government was a central motif and they influenced the plot very much. Those stories are The Scarlet Letter and Fahrenheit 451, and there was also a mini story that was discussed: August 2026 (written by the author of Fahrenheit 451). Those stories are almost opposites in basis and structure, but very similar in some underlying aspects. The Scarlet Letter plot was 200 years before it was written, but Fahrenheit 451’s plot was almost 100 years into the future, yet at the same time, their societies were fading away because of

Without freedom of speech, it would also eliminate freedom of the press or freedom of petition, preventing any uproars or rebellions against unfair or controversial policies, laws, beliefs, or actions. A common example of oppressing society via their freedoms would be a lack of freedom of religion, where the government only endorses one religion and nobody can speak otherwise. If a certain religion was outlawed, there must be several other practices outlawed because they are customs of said outlawed religion, while also practices that are not approved within endorsed religion would also be prohibited. For example, in The Scarlet Letter, the Puritans own Boston, and the citizens of Boston must follow the rules of Puritanism or they have harsh consequences such as standing on a scaffold or going to prison. Within that example, most of the population in the book is in the “solemn mood of the popular mind”. Also, in Fahrenheit 451, the government banned books and started promoting the parlour walls, so now everybody is stuck watching the parlour walls with or without necessity. Without our freedoms, there is almost no independent personal choice, there would only be oppression, restriction, and

There would be a lack of third-party businesses and services that would have both competition and new expansions of technology, making separate payouts. Taxes would be unyielding and solid, and typically larger to pay for the extra services funded by the government, and that certainly harms the money. In Fahrenheit 451, there are no real jobs or education except for those funded/made by the government, such as firemen, parlour wall installers, actors, and Mechanical Hound engineers (the society requires most men to be in the military). Other than that, nobody mentions any type of modern typical jobs such as shop worker, tax filer, teacher, gardener, etc. The only economic status mentioned in the story is how the United States (interpreted setting) is richer than many other countries in the world, and it [the United States] is the reason for the worldwide economic stress throughout. Contrastingly, The Scarlet Letter offers some opportunities for business, such as Hester with her embroidery business, but most other types of businesses are funded by Governor Bellingham. The government’s influence affects more than just us, but other nations too; it affects the world. In August 2026, it gives a small reference by talking about the family on the west side of the wall, and it represents Hiroshima/Nagasaki, where the President fired two atomic bombs without the people’s knowledge and consent.
