The book is Fahrenheit 451

Quotation #1: "Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace, in
England, as I trust shall never be put out" (36) (Original Source: Hugh Latimer (c. 1470 – 16 October
1555) was a British clergyman, Bishop of Worcester, and Protestant martyr during the reign of Mary I of
England. He was burnt at the stake.)
1. Using close textual analysis, explain what the quotation means (recall what we discussed in
class).
2. Why is or isn't this quotation a good choice for Bradbury to include at this point in the novel?
3. Both the woman at the house and Beatty say this quotation. What does Bradbury want
readers to understand both by including the quotation and connecting it to both the
woman at the fire and Beatty?
