brings home a book of poetry one day and begins to read the poem Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold to his wife and her guests. Many critics think that Bradbury picked this poem because it paralleled life in his book. The poem Dover Beach can be compared to Fahrenheit 451 because both pieces of writing talk about themes of true love‚ fantasy and allover hopelessness.

first glance‚ Anthony Hecht’s "Dover Bitch" is not only funnier than Matthew Arnold’s "Dover Beach"‚ but also describes a more "liberated" relationship; the poem is as free from what some would consider stuffy Victorian morals as it is from references to Sophocles.
