Main Characters

Who are the main characters in the novel? Do you like them? Why or why not? What is special about them? What do they reveal about the universal human experience?

Guy Montag: Montag is the protagonist. I like him because he is unique and views the world differently from others in the novel. He does not think like the ‘robot’ in the society. He attempts to find an accurate answer to his question. “Do I want to be this person? Are these things meaningful?” Even he is sometimes doing illegal or dangerous acts his curiosity gave me inspiration. He dislikes his occupation which he founds dull and meaningless. Although he had difficulty deciding what to do his actions of finding meaningful life impressed me. He is my hero, from a dull fireman, to a new, curious guy. He reveals the universal human experience that curiosity makes them try to find what they want to know. Curiosity makes people want to find it until they knew the solution.

Captain Beatty: This is my least favorite character. Once, he was a absorbed reader in literatures. Then he seems to hate books because they are complex. The most interesting thing about Beatty is that the fact although is well-read he believe books are complex but TV, games, and comics are straightforward and fun.
I do not understand even he read books why does he enjoy the pleasures and without worries? He uses Guy Montag as if he tries to persuade Montag to believe his words are true. About the major universal human experience he reveals there are evil people who persuades or give “wrong ideas” to people. Captain Beatty read many literatures but he gave the wrong idea that books are complex and it is dangerous to us. He seems like he doesn't wants the truth to be unaware.

Climax

What is the climax of this novel? What happens? How do the events of this novel make you feel?

The climax is when Montag kills Beatty. This is the climax because this is the point of no return for Montag. The moment when he killed Beatty he cannot change back to the past. Murder is something that cannot be returned. When Montag arrived at his house he saw the house empty. Mildred runs out of his house with a suitcase and drove a taxi. Montag does not feel angry at her, however, he feels pity and anger at her. Beatty orders Montag to burn the house by himself. Montag burns everything, and when he is finished, Beatty places Montag under arrest. Beatty strikes his head and the green bullet falls out of Montag’s ear. Beatty switches the green bullet off and thrust it in his pocket. Beatty smiled and gave him more quotations. He demainds Montag to pull the trigger. Beatty let Montag shoot the flamethrower on him and be killed. The other two firemen didn't move. Montag forced them to turn around and beat their heads felling to the ground. Then the Mechanical Hound injects his leg but Montag beats it up. Then he run away.
The events of this novel makes me feel happy but incomprehensible. Montag murdering Beatty made me become less stressful because Beatty's action made me feel angry. Nevertheless, I didn't understand why Beatty would let Guy kill him. I had these questions left behind, "Whether he was trying to make Montag a criminal or giving a choice for him?"
