Justified In Turning Montag In Fahrenheit 451

On page 121 of Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, Montag feels triumphant and proud over killing Beatty while pulling his one-liner, “You always said, don't face your problems, burn it. Well, now I’ve done both.” and saying goodbye arrogantly. However, Montag starts to realize what he just did and how redundant and obtuse his actions were because now, he’s a fugitive on the run. Later on in the text, when Montag is hobbling around the woods, trying to escape the entire salamander squad, he begins to berate himself, calling himself an idiot and a fool multiple times. These events, in general, cause a massive attitude change for Montag and you can start to see that, little by little, he starts to go insane.

Mildred is the wife of Montag. She has many different interests than Montag does which makes them foil characters. There is nothing very spectacular about Mildred. She is very bland and is obsessed with television. She believs that her family is the television shows. Montag on the other hand is appreciates books. Mildred says to Montag, “See what you are doing to us? You’ll ruin us!” (76). This quote shows that Mildred does not appreciate what Montag wants. She does not respect his interests and does not want to be married to someone who is doing illegal acts. Montag sees the books as a good thing and as an innspiration. Mildred sees them as

She is different from everyone else in a very freeing way and Montag starts to be drawn into her personality. She is like a burst of fresh air for Montag

Montag was justified in killing beatty because he was protecting himself and others, he wanted to change society for the greater good, the government wanted to restrict the amount of knowledge their people had in exchange for total control, therefore he didn’t know any better. One of Montag’s goals consists of him trying to protect Faber and himself.

When the veil over his eyes gets lifted he starts to question the logic on why books are banned, and soon will do anything to save them. Montag's actions change in many ways, but the things that impacted his beliefs the most are meeting and talking to Clarisse McClellan, when Mrs. Blake would not leave her books, and when he started talking to Faber.

When Montag first met Clarisse he could tell that she was different from other people he has met before. Clarisse was very free spirited and “her face [was] bright as snow in the moonlight”(pg. 4). She was a very innocent girl who saw the world from a different perspective than Montag. Instead of living in a world full of negativity, Clarisse aimed to explore beyond reality. She talked to Montag about a world where “they needed firemen to stop the flames,” and explained how the world was very peaceful (pg. 6). Also, Clarisse saw the true man hiding beneath the uniform.

“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”- Mahatma Gandhi. Fahrenheit 451 is about a man named Guy Montag who doesn’t realize it yet but is one of the most important people in his society.

In the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, there is a story of the character Guy Montag who is a fireman in a dystopian society, a society in which people get entertainment from giant TVs they call “Parlor Walls” and houses have been deemed fireproof. Since fireman do not need to run around and eliminate fires, they start them. The job of a fireman in this dystopian society is that they burn books and the places that contain them, all the while being the official censors of the state. But there is something different about Montag, he used to be a proud fireman, he had the look of one: “black hair, black brows... fiery face, and... blue-steel shaved but unsaved look” as it states on page 30, the feel of one: “It was

In Fahrenheit 451, Montag, the main character, is not loyal to his spouse, Mildred.

You don’t know...Stop it!’ He slapped her face, he grabbed her again and shook her”(66). Generally, in a loyal relationship, both people should try to work things out together and should try to satisfy each other or stay loyal by treating them with respect and respecting their opinions, but here

Ray Bradubury helps display themes in Fahrenheit 451 by using fantastic elements in science fiction, such as his invention of the “rocket car” and the “mechanical hound.” He uses these elements to help the readers picture a society that he believes could portray America in the future. One of the major themes he expresses through the book is the developing lack of sympathy in human relations to one another. In Fahrenheit 451, Bradbury exposes the fact that many people in society today drive too fast with nowhere to go, which relates to the overall theme which is the lack of sympathy in modern day societies.
