Use of Power
The Wave and Fahrenheit 451 are both stories that greatly stem from different uses of power. The storyline of both books follow a greater power that substantially controls those around them. This power comes directly from that one in charge and is also an invisible but controlling force.
In Fahrenheit 451, Guy Montag is figuratively woken up by a girl named Clarisse. After Guy’s interaction with Clarisse, he becomes more aware of how messed up his world is. Guy becomes more knowledgeable and begins to even steal and read books. This new knowledge that he has inherited put him one step higher than everybody else and he could outsmart others and/or persuade them to wake up out of their hypnotic state, even if this never worked.
