The books were gone and so with them the information of the past was lost. Without these “receptacles” being there for what they were made for, the information was gone. Now they were just fed to fire. The things that they were
It shows that the Inspector leaves something for the Birling family to think about and to never forget what has just happened and what they’ve done to cause this catastrophe. He’s left the Birling’s to feel guilty about their actions and that they could nothing to reverse what has happened.

However when he comes back, after Inspector Goole has left, with a piece of news; which was that the inpector was not an inspector. After finding out this piece of news, he then pretends nothing has happened and tries to give the ring back to Shiela. This shows he has forgotten everything he has learnt and he is just like Mr Birling so therefore his views on responsibilty is also
In a life lesson taught by Talzani, Mark has to learn to ‘forget the dead’ and ‘turn away from the past’, to realize that he is not responsible for the death of his friend and failing to bring his body back. When Elena first meets Mark, she is primarily engrossed by his watchful eyes, eyes that ‘had seen too much.’ The excessive amount of wars and pointless deaths take a toll on Mark’s health, both emotionally and physically as his feelings become numb to the pain of the world, evident when he fails to shed a
Beatty and Montag have a talk after Montag calls in “sick”. When Montag was reviewing the conversation to his wife, he states, “[Beatty’s] right. Happiness is important. Fun is everything. And yet I kept sitting there saying to myself, I’m not happy, I’m not happy.” (page 62) In the future of a time when “firemen put fires out instead of going to start them”, Guy Montag, a fireman in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, starts to question the importance of intellectual freedom.
