Fahrenheit 451

May you please analyze this quote, please?

“... as I say, of Hamlet was a one-page digest in a book that claimed: now at least you can read all the classics; keep up with your neighbors. Do you see? Out of the nursery into the college and back to the nursery; there's your intellectual pattern for the past five centuries or more." (Bradbury, 52)

Thank you!

Beatty argues that books became shorter to appeal to a wider audience who watches television and listens to the radio. People are generally dumbed down which makes it easier for the state to control them.
