Final Jeopardy!
Who says this quote and what does the character mean:
“We must all be alike. Not everyone born free and equal, as the constitution says, but everyone made equal. . . . A book is a loaded gun in the house next
door. Burn it.”
Captain Beatty!
Beatty believes that everyone in society should be intellectually the same – like carbon copies. He says that knowledge is evil and books are morbid because they contain dead thoughts by dead authors. This is why society idolizes fire. There are no funerals – the dead are quickly forgotten and burned in the incinerator. “Fire is bright and fire is clean.”
