He confesses his sin of adultery, all with the intention to save the lives of those he knew to be innocent at the expense of his innocence before the court of Salem.

April 11th, 2013 Fahrenheit 451 Just like in real life, characters in books have virtues and vices. Ray Bradbury did an amazing job presenting a theme through his characters in his book Fahrenheit 451.
