What is the mood of this novel? Do you find this novel saddens you in anyway? Why?
The mood of Fahrenheit 451 is very heartbreaking, but it changes very suddenly as many of the main events in the story happen suddenly without you expecting it. The mood starts out confusing, interesting, and sad. It becomes sadder, but suspense starts to build as Montag steals the book. The mood quickly becomes suspenseful and exciting, and then becomes sad once one of Montag’s plans are ruined, or something other negative happens. The mood quickly changes to exciting as Montag goes even deeper into trouble. The general mood of the novel, however, saddens me in many ways. It saddens me on how the government and people in the setting of the book are so brainwashed and corrupted. It saddens me to remind me of how people in the future might become like that, lazy and sitting around on technology. It saddens me how Guy Montag, even though he partially achieved his goal of achieving knowledge by books, It saddens me on what he has lost, like his wife, job, money, and perfect home. But then again, it is good because he was willing to lose all of that for what he knew what right. Generally, it is a sad book, but it has high morality and is not that big of a heartbreaker
