When Montag tells Mildred about his day, he says, "We burned a thousand pounds. We burned a woman." (Bradbury 47). The focus on burning the woman shows the shock factor of what Montag had just done. And the focus on burning the woman only came after Mildred repeatedly failed to acknowledge that he said he burned a woman, and even when she acknowledges it, she doesn't sees nothing wrong with it. In Letters From Birmingham Jail, when Martin Luther states the meaning of a just law, he states it this way: "A just law is a man-made code of law which accords with the moral laws or laws of God. Every law that elevates the human personality is just” (Luther 3) According to the law of 451, books are not allowed. Books are a way for everyone to express their opinion or tell historical facts, or teach a lesson using fictional or real people/events from history. Therefore, when books are banned, it degrades the human personality, because it takes away the individual's uniqueness and creates a society of unmotivated people. Still according to God's laws, we must show kindness to others and always respect each other. Yet, looking into the world of Fahrenheit 451, one can see that there is no respect for each other, as the teenagers in this society say.
