Fahrenheit 451, The Evolution of Montag


After living for a long time in a society where socialization turns into speaking about topics that barely require any thought and everything is very superficial, Montag decides to stand up to the people's way of living. He does this by picking up a book and attempting to make everybody realize that written works and knowledge can have a greater, better and more productive impact on society than what is considered to be tolerant and common in that society. Montag's actions have led Commander Beatty to believe that he is carrying some books and Montag seems uncomfortable after he shared the poem with his circle of friends. By doubting on himself, he has caused anxiety to dawn upon him and he attempts to have control over the situation during his talk with commander Beatty during the card game.
