Fahrenheit 45l Prose Questions


  1. Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" shares a similar sense of enlightenment in its main character as seen in Ray Bradbury's protagonist Guy Montag. Write a well-organized essay in which you discuss the similarities of the two.
  2. Frequently a work of literature will revolve around a major transformation in a character.  This transformation can often be taken as literal or figurative.  Choose a novel (Fahrenheit 451) and write a well-organized essay in which you discuss the complexion of the transformation and its relationship to the character and the theme.
  3. As seen in many modern works of literature, protagonists are not always heroic characters, but anti-heroes. A prime example of this is Ray Bradbury's Guy Montag of "Fahrenheit 451". In a well-written essay compare Guy Montag to another modern day anti-hero.
  4. In both Fahrneheit 451 and "Brave New World"  antagonists such as Mr. Beatty and Mustapha Mond appear to express qualities that both go against and along with the protagonists goal in the novel. In a well-organized essay write the reasons to why the authors would allow such characters to exist in their novel's plot.
