Radical Movement through Revolt
In Anthem and Fahrenheit 451, two characters have their intelligence confined, become rebellious, and they are derided from society. Anthem is confined with the past and evolving towards the very last creation to keep themselves from being destroyed again. Anthem comparison and contrast to Fahrenheit 451, is a society where the people are driven towards the advancement of technology while destroying the knowledge that created it. Each book keeps their society intact by diminishing certain criterias of knowledge. Each society is scared of change, and for everyone to do something for their own sake.
In comparison of ,Equality 7-2521 in Anthem and Montag in Fahrenheit 451, they are both stripped away from their freedom and become an outcast of their society. Montag and Equality 7-2521 take sense that everything is corrupted to the very roots. Revolting against their government; they run away, and discovers they are not like everyone else. All of humanity of the two societies are spoon fed and blinded to walk on their own. Yet, Equality 7-2521 had escaped his imprisonment by ignoring the rules of the council to share all thoughts, and went into hiding;Equality 7-2521 had set himself learning knowledge in a train tunnel. “At first, man was enslaved by the gods. But he broke their chains. Then he was enslaved by the kings. But he broke their chains. He was enslaved by his birth, by his kin, by his race. But he broke their chains. He declared to all his brothers that a man has rights which neither god nor king nor other men can take away from him, no matter what their number, for his is the right of man, and there is no right on earth above this right. And he stood on the threshold of freedom for which the blood of the centuries behind him had been spilled.” (chapter 12, Rand) This conjoins with Equality because he had forbade the World Council, and to start creating a new path of his own to correct society. Equality 7-2521 starts transgressing into a state of mind of creating “ego” distinguishing himself from the selves of others; a word that is forbidden to use among his society. Equality 7-2521 is similar to Montag in the the story of Fahrenheit 451 because Montag had set himself from society that can not read and are not aloud to read books. "We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal, as the Constitution says, but everyone made equal. Each man the image of every other; then all are happy, for there are no mountains to make them cower, to judge themselves against. So! A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it. Take the shot from the weapon." (Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451) Society in this quote, do not have any contact or no control. However, of a book to be read would consult of revolt against government, which Montag is creating through his judgement of the world. Montag sense of exasperation and helplessness because he cannot find the answers he seeks of the missing pieces that connected society with knowledge, to social naturally face-to-face, and experience nature besides all the technology. The only contact Montag has with authority is his boss Beatty. Thus, society is shaped through the media gaps and the manipulation …show more content…
Both character 's society is monitored by a government who controls the way a person thinks, learn, and gain self-interest is destined to be changed. Humanity in a totalitarian and collectivist government that does not allow personal creation of thoughts leads to the destruction of a downfall; A downfall of not moving into an equal position for all of society. The courage to take a stance to free knowledge in captive is to recreate the works of the old.
Anthem and Fahrenheit 451 is modernized through control, and the bravery of two characters merged themselves to see the truth; the truth that society is corrupted to the roots. The characters, Montage and Equality 7-2521, become independent and break the rules of boundaries. Montage and Equality 7-2521 escape the glue of society, and grasp a new concept of creating a new one. A new society where “I” is used and knowledge can be read from
