In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury the people in the society are not free nor equal. The firefighters in the novel burn books so that people can't have a higher education than one another, trying to make people equal, but it’s just taking away their freedom. The quote “We need not to be let alone. We need to really be bothered once in a while.” (Bradbury 49) shows how the society is isolated from one another. Since the people aren’t free they don't act like themselves so they become isolated from the society.
