Setting

Time – Never in the book does the author mention the time period that Fahrenheit 451 takes place in. all that is known is that the characters live in a dystopian-type future. The book itself was published in 1953 so the time period would be any time after that. Who knows, maybe we’re living in the time period right now.


Place – In the novel, the characters live in the United States. Some places in the U.S are named in the book for example, St. Louis is one of the places mentioned. The story never says any specific state or city where the characters live.
