Guy Montag Quotes “A book lit up almost obediently, like a white pigeon, in his hands, wings fluttering… a page… like a snowy feather… shovelfuls of magazines… fell like slaughtered birds.” “For the first time I realized that a man was behind each one of the books… It took some man a lifetime… and then I come along in two minutes and boom! It’s all over.” “The fire… meant a different thing… It was warming… He hadn’t known fire could look this way… never thought in his life that it could give as well as take.”

Guy Montag Conflicts, Changes: Clarisse questions life & his happiness… Father, grandfather had been firemen (burners), so he automatically took… Gullibly accepts things, then wants better, Brighter… Fire was a Cleaner, but later he joins Book people in the forest – against his Boss Beatty’s destruction… Mirror, Mirror, Peaks/Valleys: Thinks himself happy – Clarisse’s free thoughts, questions makes him realize he/society are NOT… The public worker Awakens to learn things weren’t always this way – Goes from Trapped to Free… Firemen used to STOP fires
