Master´s thesis in English (EN501) This thesis examines the novels Fahrenheit 451 (1953) and The Road (2006), two future-set dystopian narratives that extrapolate on their contemporary and ongoing traumas. This paper explores the novels through the lens of trauma studies, testing whether the concepts of insidious trauma and the future anterior can be used in conjunction.
