Fahrenheit 451 The bank of the PhoenixThe word phoenix had symbolize immortality, but for the people in Fahrenheit451, their whole hope was that the phoenix would be burn out, and be reborn again.The myth of the phoenix gave optimism to the keep of Montag, to the books, andto the orbit of Fahrenheit 451.
