Thesis: The struggle for self-identity as a motif flows throughout Fahrenheit 451 as Bradbury illustrates through Guy’s decision to revolt, not conform, and ultimately break free.
Quotes:
"It was a pleasure to burn. It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed. With the brass nozzle in his fists, with this great python spouting its venomous kerosene upon the world, the blood pounded in his head, and his hands were the hands of an amazing conductor playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters of history” (3).
“The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us” (53).
“Divergence is extremely dangerous” (23).
