Thomas Paine

Thomas Paine wrote pamphlets that were influential in promoting the idea of American independence, most notably "Common Sense," which argued for independence from British rule. His writing helped galvanize public opinion in favor of the revolutionary cause.

Thomas Paine is referenced in Fahrenheit 451 to highlight the importance of revolution and freedom of thought. Paine's works, especially "Common Sense" and "The Rights of Man," were influential in promoting democratic ideals and challenging oppressive systems. In the novel, he symbolizes the power of ideas to inspire change and challenge the status quo.

No, Thomas Paine was not hanged. He was a political activist and writer during the American Revolution and later the French Revolution. While his writings were controversial, he was not executed for his ideas.

He referred the government as being a "dress" to Biblical verses. Adam and Eve were naked, but after they sinned, they were clothed because the lost their innocence before God. Hope this helps!
