What poem relates to the book Fahrenheit 451?
“Dover Beach” by Matthew Arnold, which is a poem about the world’s loss of faith and meaning. At a critical moment in the story, Montag reads the poem aloud in order to shame his wife’s friends about the banality of their lives. Poem: http://www.victorianweb.org/authors/arno… Notes: http://www.victorianweb.org/authors/arno… Contrary to popular belief, Bradbury’s novel is not about censorship. It’s about the degradation of culture and the loss of meaning through the voluntary rejection of literature and its replacement with trivial entertainments such as shopping, drugs and television.
