Fahrenheit 451 , and Anthem
Becoming an IndividualIn the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and Anthem by Ayn Rand, the two main Characters, Guy Montag, and Equality struggle to become free from the society they are living in. In Fahrenheit 451 Guy rebelled against his society's wishes and runs away. He runs away because in his society you cant read books and he chose to read them and he got caught, so he ran away. This was when Guy really looked inside of him and noticed how he has changed and became a different person. In the novel Anthem the main character Equality goes through just about the same changes. Equality rebelled against his society, and ran away to become an individual, because in his society you are not allowed to have knowledge and you are on the same level as everyone else. So Equality ran away and he went through a "rebirth" just like Guy Montag where Equality discovers who he really is and how he has changed from being just like everyone else to being his own person an individual. Then Equality goes through is a recreation of identity where he changes his name from Equality to Prometheus. The two main characters go on a wild ride going through three similar main stages of change where
These two strong compelling novels of literature really go past the subject and make one think on becoming an individual and to stick up for yourself and strive for what you want to do and not to be the same as everyone else. "We swung our fist through the windowpane, and we leapt out in a ringing of glass. On their journey to becoming individual the two characters go through a change, a rebirth that makes them realize and understand the benefits of being an individual. Obtaining some books Guy starts to "cross over to the dark side" and he starts to read the books, which is against the law. He took pleasure from reading books and he stood up for himself. Beatty tells Guy if he does not get rid of the books he will be arrested, Guy takes drastic measures and killed Beatty and took the books and ran for his life. Guy's rebirth and his recreation of his new identity tie in together as one. I shall take my food from the earth by the toil of my own hands. Equality begins to recreate his identity by changing his name from Equality to Prometheus. He became an individual and looked back at his society his brothers and realized that when he ran away he made the right choice cause he has freedom in his arms as tight as a brace and he will never let that go. In Fahrenheit 451 after Guy has gone through his "rebirth" on finding out who he really was he decided that he did not want to burn books anymore.
