This essay discusses that the novel “Fahrenheit 451” starts off with a fireman, Guy Montag burning books in a futuristic American city. In his view, firemen are responsible for starting fires rather than extinguishing them. He is of the idea that people in the society do not enjoy nature, read books, spend time by themselves, engage in meaningful conversations or think independently. Instead, they watch excessive television, drive exceptionally fast and listen to the radio. Montag comes across a gentle teenage girl, Clarisse McClellan, who in his own assertion makes him realize the emptiness of life through her unusual love for nature and people and innocent questions. As a result, Montag experiences several disturbing events in the following days. First off, Montag’s wife Mildred, attempts to suicide by ingesting a bottle full of sleeping pills. Later on, when Montag responds to an old woman’s distress call, he is surprised when the old woman chooses to get burned alongside her treasured stash of literature. A little later, news reaches him the Clarisse, the teenage girl, had been run over by a speeding automobile. This series of events make Montag highly dissatisfied with his life, and he begins his search for a solution in books he had stolen from fires. Beatty, Montag’s fire chief visits Montag’s house to establish why Montag had not shown up for work.&nbsp....

Society, on the other hand, had decided to burn books rather than tolerate conflicting schools of thought. Beatty asks Montag to take a day to find out if his stolen stash of books had any worthwhile thing before turning them in for incineration. Montag embarks on a night of frantic reading (Bradbury, 69). After a few hours of reading, Montag gets overwhelmed by the task and asks his wife for support. Mildred would have none of it. She prefers watching television instead and does not understand why Montag was taking the risk of book reading. Montag recalls an encounter he had at the park with Faber, a retired English professor, and decides to seek his indulgence in understanding the books (Bradbury, 72). He then visits Faber who informs him that the value of literature lies within the awareness of the life they contain. The English professor says that Montag needs books in addition to the leisure to read and act on their ideas. Faber helps Montag with reading the literature, and soon afterwards they hatch a scheme to overturn the current state of affairs. Faber will get a hold of a printer and reproduce books while Montag’s role was to plant books in firemen’s homes to discredit the profession and destroy the censorship machinery (Bradbury, 102). Faber hands him a two way radio earpiece to aid in communication. Montag’s new found love for books and defiance for their ban is portrayed when he pulls out a poetry book right before his wife and her friends. The women are disturbed by Montag’s action and file a complaint to the authorities (Bradbury, 114).
