Fahrenheit 451 Changes
Walter Annenberg used to say, “when we hold back out of laziness, that is when we tie ourselves into knots of boredom.”. In the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the main character Montag changes throughout the novel. He changes throughout the novel by becoming aware, curious and rebellious. There are many changes that happen to Montag but one of those changes happen to be that he becomes more aware of the world. He never knew or never paid any attention on what was happening around him but once he met Clarisse that all changed. Montag was walking home after meeting Clarisse, once he got home he kicked an empty bottle of sleeping pills “Montag was cut in half” (13). Before he wouldn’t have cared of what happened to Mildred but now he become
less cold hearted. At the firehouse Montag looked at all the guys and realized they all look the same, “Montag looked at these men whose faces were sunburned by a thousand real and the thousand imaginary fires…” (33). He becomes more aware that everyone of the firemen look exactly the same and there isn’t any change. In the beginning he becomes more aware on the world around him but as it moves on he becomes more curious. The novel later on shows that Guy Montag starts to become more curious. Montag was at home when he was looking at the book he stole, he became very curious of the book but Mildred was mad “she was beginning to shriek now, sitting there like a wax doll melting in its own heat”(76). He was very curious about his book and wanted to learn about this book that he owns. Montag was on the train “the subway fled past him.cream tile, jet-black, cream tile, jet-black, numerals and darkness, more darkness and the total adding itself’ (78). He was saying that the train is numb and he doesn’t want to be numb, he actually wants to feel. Even though he is very curious throughout the whole book, he is also very rebellious. As the novel goes on he starts to become very rebellious of the things that are illegal such as reading books. Montag was caught holding books in his house so he had to burn them himself “a great nuzzling gout of fire leapt out to lap at the books and knock them against the wall” (116). Well Montag had books in his house and it is illegal to have books thus he was being rebellious. Literally this whole book is not have books so of course he was being rebellious. Montag was running away when he went to his former coworker house and he placed a book in his house “ the house did not reply” (130). Again he was doing a rebellious thing by putting a book in someone's house. That is called framing someone which is very rebellious and rude. In the whole entire book he was rebellious but in the end he was many things. Ray Bradbury made the novel Fahrenheit 451, the main character Montag changes throughout the novel in many ways. He first becomes aware of all the things that are alike. So becoming aware of all the things make him curious of books. The next thing that he does is he comes very rebellious like planting books in people’s houses. In the end of this novel the character Guy Montag changes succinctly throughout.
