Written by Ray Bradbury and published in 1953, “Fahrenheit 451” tells the story of Guy Montag, a fireman whose job is to collect and burn books in a society where any feelings of discomfort from existential crises to mourning loved ones have been outlawed and the priority is happiness by any means necessary.

From a little bit of Ray Bradbury backstory to what we would change about the book, this loose, rambling podcast offers a chill conclusion to our reading and analysis of “Fahrenheit 451”: one of history’s greatest dystopian novels.

In the first episode of Tiger Talk, we discussed the literal and figurative meaning of the prominent theme of lightness vs darkness present in the novel, alongside other narrative symbols that we’ve encountered throughout reading.

In the second episode of Tiger Talk, we explored the novel through the view of the Marxist lens, analyzing the novel’s discussions around class and wealth. The book’s central metaphor of “The Rooster Coop” alongside the debate between decisions between morally right or not fuel the main topics of this week’s episode.

In this final episode of the series, we gave our final last thoughts on the book and explained what made us choose this book in the first place. We also dove into the intention of the author Aravind Adiga and discussed about his motivation of why he chose the way he wrote those things. It is a heartfelt goodbye as we close out the series, and we thank listeners for watching all of our episodes with an keen interest. We will be back!

Welcome to the second episode of “Here Here!” This week, we discuss the events of the book through the Marxist Lens, which examines the financial scenarios in the novel. Since we have been able to learn more about each character, we work to analyze each character, their relationships, and their financial situations. We hope you enjoy!

Wow! A lot has happened while we read deeper into the book. Today, we continue to talk about some of the wild events that have unfolded in the book Dracula. This week we take a look at the literary lenses of this book mainly both the New Historicist Lense and the Marxist. We will use these lenses to help give us a critical look at why certain decisions were made and understand why some of the characters might have acted in a certain way. Make sure to hear from our “sponsor” at the end of the podcast!
