“Robert Reilly claims that the novel is "a frightening picture of how the products of science can destroy persons and human values" (67), but this is an unfortunate simplification” (McGiveron).

Theme Thesis The theme that FAHRENHEIT 451 is trying to express throughout the book is that the authoritarian government doesn’t want people having independent thoughts. I believe this is what Ray Bradbury was trying to express by how the Society acted towards books.
