He feels trapped, as if he's married to an empty husk of a person. Clarisse was the only person who felt real to him, as if everyone else were just machines performing their limited functions. Guy Montag meets a man named Faber who has a love for books, despite the fact that it's a crime. He plots with this man to one day teach others about the joys of literature and to be a free thinker. He dreams of owning a printing press with him to help spread their word, though Faber thinks it may be too dangerous. It all goes downhill when his wife rats him out to his boss, and he has to burn his own house down, which devastates him. Things get nasty, and he ends up burning his boss to death after resisting arrest. He then becomes a wanted criminal, flees the town, and luckily runs off into the woods to float down in the river. He finds a small group of people who consider themselves human, and they too want to change their twisted society and the harsh ways of the government. By the next day, the town is destroyed, and this is a new beginning for Montag, but he doesn't know what it means to have caused the town to collapse on
