Fahrenheit 451
Fahrenheit 451 The titles of each of the three sections of this book have very specific meanings. The first part is entitled “The Hearth and the Salamander”. It has to do with Monteg’s job and his home life. The Hearth is the traditional symbol for the home and the Salamander is one of the symbols of the firemen. Firemen also call their trucks Salamanders. Both of these symbols have to do with fire.
