The story follows Guy Montag, a fireman who begins questioning his role in suppressing knowledge and individuality. Influenced by a free-spirited neighbor, Clarisse, and the haunting memories of his wife’s empty existence, Montag becomes disillusioned with society’s shallow, oppressive culture.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is a classic romantic novel that explores love, class, and societal expectations in 19th-century England. The story follows Elizabeth Bennet, a witty and independent young woman, as she navigates family pressures and her own prejudices.
