The Experiences of Montag

After Montag is finished burning the house down, Beatty arrests Montag. When Beatty begins to rebuke Montag, Montag turns on his superior and with the flamethrower, proceeds to burn Beatty to ashes.

Beatty was making Montag realize, “The incredible books that looked so silly and really not worth bothering with, for these were nothing but black type and yellow paper and raveled binding” (Bradbury 109). After Beatty had brought Montag and the rest of the station to Montag's house to ruin Montag’s plan and burn the books he had hidden. Montag has to decide what to do before Beatty burns his house down and arrest him. Beatty was making Montag realize what he had really done by burning his house down with all of the books that Montag had concealed. Fire gives Beatty the power to make him feel like he can make people do what he wants and helps him have better control over situations.

Beatty uses his knowledge to attack Montag after the fireman has made the decision to join the radicals and to oppose the burning of books. Montag returns to the fire station in order to surrender a book, creating the illusion of conforming to Beatty’s expectations. Before Montag has an opportunity to speak Beatty begins to confound him with contradictory statements from

Montag’s Wife, Mildred, is a negative influence on him, trying to push him away emotionally and physically. She does not know who she really is and lives in an illusionary world with her obsession of television shows and believing they are real. He is so confused because she tries to ignore it ever happened thinking about all the bad things; “fire, sleeping tablets, men disposable tissue, coattails, blow, wad, flush...Rain. The storm. The uncle laughing...The whole world pouring down..." (19). After this incident he looks at Mildred in a different light and is someone who he can’t relate to. Another way she separates herself from Montag is through her "family", which is a television show. Montag constantly asks Millie “[if that] family loves [her]… love [her] with all their heart and soul" (83). Her world isn’t based in reality; they are clearly on different paths. Hers is one of illusion and his is becoming that of a totally self-aware person. She blocks everything and everyone out that is around her and lives within the show. Mildred opens Montag 's eyes to the real world and shows him that most people are uncaring and narcissistic.

Faber changed Montag from being a confused man, to an aware, thinking and analyzing person that is deferent from the society he lives in. after killing Beatty, the chief fireman at the station who has read many books and memorized most of them. Montag seeks Faber 's help again, he was confused did not know where to do to escape from the mechanical hound that was running after him. Faber tells Montag to go to the forest, where Montag rested and thought about what happened and whether he did the right thing or not. At the forest, Montag meets a group of men that was lead by Granger; an author who is the leader of a group that hopes to re-populate the world with books.

(STEWE-1) Montag comes to a conclusion that what he does and his own job are wrong,”Montag only said, We never burned right, and then he was a shrieking blaze”(113). This symbolizes that Montag knows they never used fire the right way, they used it to burn when it should be used for something else. Causing Montag to react by killing Beatty. (STEWE-2) While Montag is trying to escape his society. “Watch for a man running… watch for the running man… watch for a man alone on foot, … watch. Yes, he thought where am I running”(118). While running away Montag commits a crime towards the society by putting a book in a fireman’s house and calling in the alarm, just like him and Faber had set up. “And now since you’re a fireman’s wife, it’s your house and your turn, He hid the books in the kitchen and moved from the house again to the alley”(123). Montag has started to commit crimes against the state and run away. (SIP-B) Montag fully rebels against his society and escapes it. (STEWE-1) Furthermore while on the run Montag drops in on Faber to explain to him what is going on, Faber suggests to Montag to go to the river. “One of the rare few times he discovered that somewhere behind behind the seven veils of unreality, beyond the walls of parlors and beyond the tin most of the city”(135). Montag now realizes there is more to everything beyond the robotic

To what extent would you go for entertainment? Something I found interesting was the extremes the people would go simply to entertain themselves. A fast pace lifestyle demands for high risks, thus leading to poorly thought out decisions. People seek excitement and the thrill of death.

As Montag is becoming more and more rebellious, he finds a confidant in Faber. Faber was once a college professor but lost his job when things started to change and books were burned. Though he is somewhat of a coward who does not want to rebel due to the fact that he does not want to face the consequences, he is a big help to Montag as he evolves. Montag is forced to burn his own house down and it seems as if all is coming to an end. At

Montag had just had a confrontation with Beatty and Montag thinks about how Beatty didn't prevent his own death, “Beatty wanted to die. In the middle of crying Montag knew it for the truth Beatty had wanted to die.”(116). Beatty never had anyone and he got so tired of life and living in the world he was living in that he drove himself to die. If he had had anyone there for him, someone who would’ve been there for him, he wouldn't have done that. This is when Montag first tries to convince Faber to go through with a plan to destroy the firemen, “Faber turned the pages. ‘Mr. Montag, you are looking at a coward. I saw the way things were going, a long time back. I said nothing. I’m one of the innocents who could have spoken up and out when no one would listen to the ‘guilty’, but I did not speak and thus guilty myself.”(78). This shows that Faber was alone and was just rotting away but once he met Montag he did the good he wanted to

4. Montag turns the flame thrower toward Beatty and burns him to ashes, knocks the other firemen out and runs for it.

Beatty starts to agitate Montag by quoting parts of books and then they get a call to burn Montag?s house. Montag starts burning his house and when he is done, Beatty starts to talk to him and hit him and while doing so he discovers the listening device Montag is using to contact Faber. After Beatty finds out what the device is, Montag burns him, knocks out the other firemen, and burns the Mechanical Hound. Section 5: Montag is on the run from the police and the firemen, who are trying to kill him. The police borrow the Mechanical Hound from another district to track down Montag and they film the chase on TV using helicopters.

Montag’s interaction with outside forces contributes toward his growth and helps develop the theme censorship is dangerous and inhibiting to all people. One outside force that leads to Montag’s development, is a character Granger. Granger played a significant role towards influencing Montag. Granger mentions his Grandfather and how every person is meant to 'leave a mark' on the earth before they die. This encourages Montag in numerous ways. Granger remembers books that he has read and inspires Montag to have courage. Granger’s main reason was teaching Montag a lesson: that as long as you leave a mark on the earth your life was important. Montag’s growth has developed the theme because as Granger depicts the importance of being different, disobeying

The war was long and catastrophic to the city. Almost everything was destroyed and everyone wiped due to the harsh battles and bombings. In turn the mass bombings created a big enough shock wave to short circuit all electronics in the country. All survivors were left with only one thing. Books.

From the beginning of the book to the end, tag is two different people. A beginning, look up to Chief Betty but at the end, Montag ended up murdering Chief Betty. Found himself when he stopped being a Mindless servant to the society. Dad leaves to make his own size Society where books are allowed and not burned. Change because the people around him had an individual personality. Like to read and get smarter through books,and change for the better.
