His thought differs from everybody else's, and this difference causes him to discover that his true purpose in his life is to break free of the polluted society that he was born into and then change. He knows that once he takes this road that he can't turn back, but once he started thinking real individual thoughts, there was no turning back from that either, which was like Equality. Also, in both stories, both of the main characters take dramatic action against the society when they break free of it. They both change from people who kind of believe in the society, but always have a doubt, to individuals who both understand when and why they need to take action against the society is damaged beyond repair, so they need to break free, rebel, and create their own. All of these similarities in both stories demonstrate when and why individuals need to break away from a corrupt society because both of the stories are very similar.
Both of the stories, of Montag and of Equality, are similar in many ways. They both start of as individuals who are a part of the society and are apart of the big picture, a piece of the puzzle. But once they break away, the piece is missing and that ruins the whole picture. Both develop by means of dynamic and indirect characterization and this characterization shows individuals breaking away from a corrupt society when necessary. The two stories are also similar in the manner that they both realize that there needs to be a change in the society, whether it's for individuality or for knowledge, the two main characters recognize the need to change and rebel against society.
The authors demonstrate good use of dynamic and indirect characterization in the manner that they are able to convey the message of an individual distinguishing when a society needs to be questioned and to be rebelled against. It's when individuals begin to actually think, to think beyond the need to think, but to think because there's a want to think. To think thoughts that are different, to think thoughts that aren't manipulated, to be creative and think in a manner that would never be imagined, as long as that thought is in a positive manner. That is the moment that an individual will feel the need to change society.
