i haven't proof read this yet but it should be okay Man Vs. Society ® Montag Vs. The Government The government forbids illegal books to be read, and Montag reads the illegal books. Montag rebelled against the government and kept hidden books. He learned that he must preserve them and keep them alive. This goes against what the government stands for therefore Montag is against the government in the fight for books to be read. Censorship Vs. Freedom of Speech The First Amendment of the US Constitution is freedom of speech and in Fahrenheit 451 there was no opportunity to express your point of view on any topic if it did not agree with the government. Censorship is expressed in the book when many books were illegal and if someone was expressing their view point that doesn't agree with the government then they will be shut up.
