“The fears we don’t face become our limits.” This is a quote said by Robin Sharma, a Canadian writer and motivational speaker. This idea that fear sets limitations is a concept that is similar to a recurring motif found in the book Fahrenheit 451. The motif of fear, or lack thereof, illustrates a negative impact on the destructive dystopian society. Author Ray Bradbury demonstrates such beliefs through the characters false sense of security. Bradbury additionally indicates that fear can be seen in literature found throughout the book. At last, the author expresses the importance that fear can be seen when the thought of trying new things comes to mind. To begin, the motif of fear, or lack thereof, demonstrates an adverse impact on the disastrous dystopian society through the characters false sense of security. This idea can be detected throughout the beginning of the book at the time when most of the society, including Clarisse, thought everything was normal. “Did it always use to be that way?” (Bradbury 27). Clarisse can be seen here in the text wondering why her society is so cruel. Clarisse had originally thought of the society as a normal everyday society. This specific quote demonstrates a false sense of security in Clarisse’s thoughts. The idea of a false sense of security can additionally be found earlier in the book Fahrenheit 451 when Mildred is listening to music. “She had both her ears plugged with electronic bees that were humming the hour away” (Bradbury 16).
