Censorship is usually used to prohibit anything that threatens the security of a population but in Montag’s dystopian society, the use of censorship ends up hurting the population. As mentioned earlier, censorship is often used to preserve the happiness of the society; in this society it was believed in order to keep people happy.

Art has been a tool of self expression ever since the Stone Age, when humans first constructed petroglyphs along the walls of caves. Using solely their minds and finite resources, people were able to create images to describe their emotions, ordinary objects, and the world around them. Conveying their thoughts through artwork allowed many to enhance their perception of the world around them. With this in mind, the concept of art has expanded into a variety of mediums such as dance, music,…
