In what way ? And what king ?
explaination:
Read the excerpt from "The Crab That Played with the Sea." Now, while the two were talking together, Pau Amma the Crab, who was next in the game, scuttled off sideways and stepped into the sea, saying to himself, 'I will play my play alone in the deep waters, and I will never be obedient to this son of Adam.
Life is meant to be better by the development of new technologies . However , in Ray Bradbury´s stories it seems that technological improvements make humans less alive.
No matter what the invention is, a time machine for example, televisions that get the family together at home, human beings in Ray Bradbury´s stories are less and less sensitive and emotional.The advent of devices that make people save time or get anything they want as fast as possible causes men, women and children to be isolated and disengaged.Contact , touch and tenderness are too old fashioned to exhibit and people either hide their feelings or show no compassion at all.
In The Pedestrian , for instance, Leonard Mead is the only person who takes a walk at night .He enjoys his walks since he feels free.Yet, he is lonely and seen as having an improper behavior when all he wants to do is having sensations and feeling emotions.
The lost elements in this life changed and upgraded by technology and new things are the ones that really make life worth living.
