Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury In Fahrenheit 451 there are many symbols used. One of them is fire, which represents the control of thought and freedom in the twenty-fourth century. The narrator begins the story by describing in great detail the actions and emotions of Guy Montag while he is tending to a fire. It was a special pleasure to see things eaten, to see things blackened and changed. With the brass nozzle in his fists, with the great python spitting its venomous kerosene upon the world, the blood pounded in head, and his hands the hands of some amazing conductor playing all the symphonies of blazing and burning to bring down the tatters and charcoal ruins of history.
