In the world of Fahrenheit 451, society does not have a government, at least they do not have one that is explained. There is no law enforcement, therefore firefighters are they only group of people to enforce the “rules.” Without government, there are no true laws in society, besides not being allowed to own or read any books. Due to the lack of leadership, teenagers attempt to run people over in the streets as a source of fun. The world is beginning to run rampage, and the war is coming, however, the mindless people of society could care less, therefore they will end up dead. The Big Brother of Fahrenheit 451 wants society to be happy, as long as it does not include indulging in books.
