Did you know that society can change people’s thinking? Fahrenheit 451 was written by Ray Bradbury in 1950’s. Montag is revealed as the protagonist and dynamic character. Firemen burn books to make people think and confused. Throughout the novel we follow Montag's Journey in ways he changes from non-thinking to a thinking character. He starts out as a person of ignorance, but concluded the story as a man of intelligence. Montag embarks on his journey as a “fireman”.

The goal is to have the people believe they are happy. The people of the society thought they are happy but in reality they are not.
