Answer 1

In 'The Murderer' by Ray Bradbury, the narrator 'murders' several technologies as a symbolic act of rebellion against their oppressive presence.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Ray Bradbury's short story "The Murderer," the narrator expresses his frustration with and eventual destruction of various technologies that have an oppressive presence in his life, rather than physically harming people. The technologies he 'murders' include the car radio, disposal, telephone, television, intercommunications system, and wrist radio. These acts are symbolic, representing a rebellion against the constant noise and control exerted by electronic devices. Through this story, Bradbury questions the societal implications and psychological effects of uncontrolled technological growth.
