These are some ideas/theses I came up with regarding ideas for a possible essay.
- Looking into Montag's Relationship with Mildred and possibly society's effects on relationships
- Beatty is subconsciously helping Montag fight against the government because he is too scared of the government to do anything.
- Looking into why Beatty is so hypocritical all the time, and what that means about his thoughts/ ideas on the world.
- The influence of the government, whose goal is to prevent people from rebelling/thinking is actually making Montag want to rebel.
- The Hound as a symbol connecting to Montag or maybe society as the government would like it to be. Or maybe how the hound symbolises both- two opposite things symbolized by one thing??
- Comparisons between Faber and Beatty- both influential on Montag's rebellion, but why/how/ what makes them different or similar?
- Look into what the goals of the government are. If the government didn't originally start the idea of burning books, as Beatty tells us, why does the government support it? What are they looking to get out of this kind of society, and what will it do for the government?
- Beatty maybe not telling Montag truthfully how he feels or what he thinks- true feelings masked by the smoke and lies. Why would Beatty not tell the truth and/or why does Beatty hide it?
- Look at comparisons between the Hound and Montag- what does the Hound show Montag about himself? About others? About society? Basically, what is the importance of the massive amount of detail we get about the Hound?
