story is told in third-person point of view and this person knows everything. The narrator in this story is not a character directly involved in the story‚ and can see all of the characters‚ their thoughts‚ and intentions. Story is told in the future‚ sometime after 2022‚ after the US had survived two atomic bombs. The narrator is telling the story second-hand‚ never having met Montag in person. So‚ I think that the narrator is telling the story in Montag’s old age‚ or years after his death.
