Intellectuals are the self-willed people that are very uneasily swayed. In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury incorporates both types of individuals to pass on a message everyone can learn from. The characters in Fahrenheit 451 can be divided into two categories–zombies and intellectuals –that teach readers that intellectuals need to help zombies.
