Fahrenheit 451was written in 1953 as an American satire set in the 24th century. • Satire is the literary art of diminishing a subject by making it ridiculous and evoking toward it attitudes of amusement, contempt, indignation, or scorn. • Satire depends on its audience understanding irony or the difference between what is shown and what actually is.
