Shatter Me

The dichotomy “us and them” and “good and evil” is prevalent throughout the whole novel. How is Mafi using this dichotomy to foreground conflict between characters and situations?

When Adam tells Juliette that The Reestablishment is burning all the books and cultural artifacts that our civilization has accumulated over the centuries, she is deeply distressed. How does book-burning in Shatter Me echo the same practice in Ray Bradbury’s dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451?

The beginning of the novel is mainly written in a narrative mode called stream of consciousness. How is it used to depict Juliette’s thoughts and feelings? Does it facilitate or hinder the reading process?
