Part III of Bradbury’s book Fahrenheit 451, Burning Bright closes the story. At this point of the story, Montag feels as though he has nothing else to lose; running away from everything he cared for in the past but now does not have a strand of liking for.

The title Burning Bright is inspired by the first line of William Blake’s The Tyger:

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In this poem, Blake personifies fire and heat to correspond to characteristics of a Tiger. In Burning Bright, Montag thinks opposite to Blake: he compares fire to destructive animals and anger.
