Theme of Fahrenheit 451?

Question

i was thinking it was "even thought the median is lost the idea lives on".. something along those lines...lol

i guess where in going with this is that the books were lost but the message they carried lives somewhere... though i have to tie that in with characterization used by the author,,, but I'm not sure how to really tie both together... or, well, what characterization in the story really illustrates my theme...

is my theme not the best? or am i missing some use full characterization?

do you have a better theme? do you have some characterization?

or umm some characterization that fits with my theme? etc????

any help is welcomed and very appreciated!

Thank You in advance! :D

Answer 1

There are actually quite a few themes:

They show:

The power of an individual

Individuality versus conformity

Technology as a source of control and power (Think the mechanical hounds, wall screens, ear seashells)

I like your theme as well it's actually quite fitting. I might, in fact, say yours is the best of all. In fact, I think it's genius.

Go with your theme.
