Fahrenheit 451 is about a time when the government has firemen who instead of putting fires out are responsible for burning books to suppress knowledge. Disidents have an underground organisation to memorise the classic books. If someone is illiminated, a book is lost forever.
451 Farenheit is the temperature at which book-paper catches fire.
It has parallels to the nazis buring books by Jewish authors in public bonfires in the 1930s.
I haven't read the other one.
See wikipedia links.

Scarlet Letter: Redemption.
Fahrenheit 451: The destruction of literature is the destruction of intellectual freedom.
I certainly hope you are not asking this because you have a paper due next week.

I guess the major theme in both books would be to be honest and truthful especially with yourself.."Be true to yourself" and take risks with honest and honorable knowledge.s
