The pages of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 were supposed to show a plausible disaster in America, even if the facts never happened; could still come to fruition to some extent. We can understand why Mr. Bradbury has made such a novel as to bring the idea of what might happen to our minds. If we turned away from the pursuit of the knowledge we contain in our society, we would and may yet find the tides of conformity washing away our humanity. We strive to keep this disastrous dystopia created only in our feared thoughts and ideas. If such a change occurred here, we would approach the situation as a major danger, a situation that turns us into a kind of zombie. Yes, a kind of zombie, they could be the undead community to always keep a fake smile. However, we can't help but wonder; What makes a zombie? Is it the need to engage basic brain activity in every minute of their superficial life? Perhaps the hidden depression weighing down their legs gives them the sight of zombie dragons? We could speculate that perhaps these Fahrenheit 451 zombies are simply looking for love! Always be dissatisfied with quick and sudden luxuries. Zombies represent the end of survival for the majority of the human population; this is why it's okay to see Millie, the firefighters, and the city as zombies, they demonstrate the previous statement through their compliance actions. To understand and resolve these questions and statements we will immerse ourselves in the meanings of conformity and individuality, of how Montag, the protagonist of this novel, sees the world, and through this information we will choose in our minds the evils and goods between conformed life and independent life. people.The people in Fahrenheit 451 choose to become similar. They hated, as Beatty recalls and describes in… middle of paper… she was truly unhappy and was “hungry” for something important that all humanity needs to be human; not zombies. The people who read had a purpose to bring the story into the world and they loved this purpose, which made them happy, unlike the sad emptiness of Millie and most people. Without the purpose of living, loving, and remembering the past, people are more likely to be dead than alive. This, in turn, made them look like some kind of zombie. Works Cited Bradbury, Ray.
