When Beatty says "the sheep returns to the fold" in Fahrenheit 451, he is alluding to the idea that people are easily swayed by conformity and are willing to return to the safety of the status quo, even if it means sacrificing their individuality and critical thinking skills. Beatty is highlighting how society has prioritized comfort and compliance over intellectual freedom and independent thought.
