At this time, Ray Bradbury was writing Fahrenheit 451. During the time Fahrenheit 451 was written, McCarthyism, the Red Scare, and the innovation of television influenced the social context. The following five sources will support how the movements influenced Fahrenheit 451. Aby, Stephen H. “Discretion Over Valor.” American Educational History Journal 36.1/2 (2009): 121-132. America: History and Life with Full Text. Web. 18 Apr. 2013. This source provides information regarding the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and their lack of involvement during the age of McCarthyism. During the time of McCarthyism many professors’ jobs were terminated for suspicion of Communist support or involvement. In Fahrenheit 451, many professors were in the state of an academic prison, and without an intervention their jobs soon became irrelevant. Brown, Elspeth H. “Visions of Belonging: Family Stories, Popular Culture, and Postwar Democracy, 1940-1960.” Canadian Review of American Studies 35.3 (2005): 335-344. America: History and Life with Full Text. Web. 18 Apr. 2013. This source will analyze how the innovation of television affected society. For example, the source states how violence was introduced into television through a character named Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire. In Fahrenheit 451 the television shows were extremely Student 2 violent and spastic. Ray Bradbury was interpreting what was happening around him in an extreme case. Deery, Phillip. “‘Running with the Hounds’: Academic McCarthyism and New York University, 1952-53.” Cold War History 10.4 (2010): 469-492. America: History and Life with Full Text. Web. 18 Apr. 2013. This source is another example of McCarthyism within the educational system. In Fahrenheit 451, many higher level educators were either incarcerated or fired when they continued to teach or harbor books. The educators within that dystopian society also had to censor their thoughts; speaking only what the government allowed them to. In this source, it demonstrates the case of Edwin Burgum and his persecution for his involvement in the American Communist Party. Storrs, Landon R.Y. “Red Scare Politics and the Suppression of Popular Front Feminism: The Loyalty Investigation of Mary Dublin Keyserling.” Journal of American History 90.2 (2003): 491-524. America: History and Life with Full Text. Web. 18 Apr. 2013. The overall source will provide information on how feminism was affected by the Red Scare. It takes a single account depicting how communism hindered the feminist movement going on in the 1950s. In Fahrenheit 451, Clarisse was the strong female role, having intelligence and the confidence to go against the norm; however, when she died in the story so did the strong female role. Wubbena, Mary. “‘Have You No Decency?’: Shading the Civil Rights Movements Red.” North Louisiana History 40.2/3 (2009): 72-90. America: History and Life with Full Text. Web. 18 Apr. 2013. Student 3 During the Red Scare, many movements were considered to be communist. This source explains the meaning of the Red Scare and how it affected Civil Rights movements in the south. Like Fahrenheit 451, Clarisse’s family was very conversational with one another, and enjoyed discussing topics that were unusual within their society. This caused suspicion among Guy Montag and many others. This shows how dangerous it was to participate in activities that didn’t fit normal within the society and could be interpreted as unlawful. McCarthyism, the Red Scare, and the innovation of television were all important events occurring in society during the 1950s. However, most of the movements caused societal problems and raised questions of how it will affect society in later years. Ray Bradbury was influenced by these movements and answered these questions through his literature in Fahrenheit 451.
