Everyone has a breaking point; Montags just so happened to be witnessing a woman commit suicide while he was on the job. He didn’t care anymore; he simply wanted justice and balance.

Citizens were required to surrender all literature from the “old Germany” to be burned in the name of Hitler’s glory. At that time, book burnings were a common way of getting rid of views that did not correspond to Hitler’s.

In chapter thirteen of Frankenstein, the creature realizes that he was “a monster, a blot upon earth, from which all men fled and whom all men disowned” since there was “none like him” (Shelley 123). The result of the atrocious appearance given to him by Victor Frankenstein is that the monster is more than dejected in human society.

Since he was so apparently appalling to the people he stumbled upon, he was entirely repudiated from human society.

Burn it.” (pg.58) Captain Beatty tries to define what happiness is throughout the story.
The woman is writing the story to express her insane thoughts against her husband's will. "The Yellow Wallpaper" begins with the narrator talking about her illness. She informs the reader that her husband, John, is a physician and he believes she is not even sick. “I did not intend to drive people crazy, but to save people from being driven crazy…” said (Gilman).” Indeed this story could very easily drive one crazy.
