What Montag Learned in Fahrenheit 451 :: Ray Bradburys Fahrenheit 451

Simplicity vs. RealityAbove every last(predicate) things, Montag loved to burn. It was pleasing for him to set aside his ignorance, watching as the little papery ashes flinch up, and wisp into the air like fireflies. But that was before he took the time to guide why. Montag had to ask himself why he was burning these books, when he didnt notwithstanding get by what they were. So he decided to take action and exact them. Where he lives, this is illegal. Reading these books brought misfortune, like loosing his wife, house, and being forced to become a nomad. But he also benefited from this. By reading these books and ruining his invigoration he also gained many things. A few of these are acquaintance, feelings, and disposition.Gaining this knowledge is the very thing that ruined his life, though it gave him a sense of meaning. with all of this Montag learns the information he finds in the books was what he needed all along. The life he was living was a lie. He was an ant to his society, and it moldiness harbor come as a relief to finally put one over he was no longer being controlled by his lack of intelligence. passim this story as I started to become more familiar with the characters I noticed something quite unusual. In essence, the people around Montag only have two basic feelings, joy and sadness. All these people ever know is that they want to be happy and they dont care at what cost. They dont have any knowledge or understanding of the way things work and thats exactly what their government wants for them, because as shortly as you have knowledge and understanding you start having more in depth emotions and begin asking questions, which leads to trying to makes changes. This causes complication, and thats just the select of thing they cannot allow in their simple, ant-like society. Montag gets feeling from the books, and the feelings he gets motivates him to do whats right. Even if everyone else around him is self centered, they only care a bout their ingest happiness.In chapter One Clarisse asks Montag if hes happy. She makes it seem like such an easy question, while in fact its one of the hardest questions he has ever had to ask himself. The truth is that Montag doesnt understand what true happiness is. All he knows is that he needs to make some forceful changes, and Montag doesnt even know how.
