Reevaluation By definition, the antagonist, opposes the protagonist, barring or complicating his or her success. Guy Montag, the protagonist, takes great pride in his work at the fire department. For a living, he burns books and the houses where the books are illegally hidden. At the beginning of the novel, Montag is portrayed as an ideal fireman in his society, enjoying his job and the smell of the kerosene, and believes he is truly happy. However, soon after meeting Clarisse, Montag starts to realize how unhappy he really is.

This shows his desparation at self imposed exile by moving to Darwin. This is because he believes that he is responsible for not protecting his family as the venemous Nazis besieged his home and forever broke the link between him and his family which as a result contributes to his negative opinion of Vienna. This negative opinion is portrayed when he is invited to dinner with Paul's family where he remarks" Nothing my dear lady could make me feel homesick" as well as that Vienna is a place of pomp and glory.

In this new setting Keller is a changed man however he has still maintained his love for music as it is an integral part of his being and therefore he can never run away from his past.
I quite enjoyed Fahrenheit 451. A 20th-century classic. The language features employed in it result in an interesting, if not slightly difficult read which provokes deep thought from the reader. Published in 1953, it describes a future American society where books are outlawed, and it is the role of ‘firemen’ to destroy any that are found. Montag, the protagonist, is a fireman and is happy however, after a conversation with the girl next door, he discovers he is completely discontented with how he has been living out his life, burning knowledge and encouraging stupefaction.

Brigham Young once said, “Why do we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do our own?” One of the many stories in Tales From the Thousand and One Nights is “The Historic Fart, “ story about a man who lets out a loud fart on his wedding night. He is extremely ashamed and embarrassed, and runs off never to be seen again. This is a great example about how caught up people are in caring about what others think of them. Through the psychoanalytical approach we can see why people care what others think, how it relates to “The Historic Fart”, and how it is still prevalent in today’s culture. Everyone worries about what people think of them at some time or another, but why do we care so much?
Few of the many examples are: being unable to get accepted into the society; feeling as if they were getting chased and hunted down; being constricted and controlled by governments and losing their identity and freedom. For example: "... The speaker got up and said: If we let them in, they will steal our daily bread" this displays the unwelcoming and selfish behaviour of society towards the refugees; Auden also writes about the concept of freedom, which is a basic human right, that the German Jews simply didn't have.

They weren't the human race, my dear..." This sentence clearly shows that the speaker was perceiving that the

The towns where the men that worked on the canal were staying were filthy and were not able to give the men a sanitary place to stay.
