"We need to be really bothered once in a while" (Bradbury 49). Explain what Montag means by "bothered" and how does it relate to the society he lives in? How might this relate to one's personal struggle for freedom?

Montag means we need to be bothered enough to stand up for something once in a while. We need to snap out of our stupor of consumerism, chasing of earthly pleasures, and willful ignorance. People need to fight for meaning and truth. Dystopian novels like Fahrenheit 451 or Orwell's 1984 are especially relatable in today's society of entertainment "news" and superficial social media. People need to care about something deeper than their own pleasures.
