Do you ever just start reading a book and find out how good it is and want to finish it in one day? Fahrenheit 451 is one of those books that you pick up and you have to finish reading in one day. This book is about a character named Montag who goes through a journey between right or wrong. Ray Bradbury takes us on a journey on how Montag feels and what he is going through. Montag goes through a lot during the book, he is a very dynamic character. He becomes self reliant during the story, i feel like Emerson would be proud.
In the beginning of the book Bradbury would describe Montag and bold and scary. He would be bold and scary because he is a firefighter. Everyone would be afraid of the firefighters, except for some seventeen year old girl named Clarise. She was no afraid of Montag, and she would talk with Montag like no other person would. Montag was surprised when she started talking to him. He was shocked to the fact that no one would talk to him because he was a firefighter. He likd the girl because he would be able to talk to her, she made him realize a lot of things.
After Montag met Clarise he started to think to himself a little more than he use to. Especially when Montag's wife overdosed Bradbury made Montag thing about his life. Ray Bradbury uses a lot of figurative language to show what Montag is feeling. Montag starts to get inner thoughts. He starts tot think about the firefighters and beatty and think it is wrong to burn books.
In the middle of the book and towards the end of the book Montag changes. Montag starts to think for himself and does things he thinks is right and not things he is told to do.For example he starts to save books when he has to destroy them. This is showing that he is more self-reliant and is changing as a character. In the beginning book Montag would do what he was told to do and he would not think twice about doing it. In the beginning of the book Montag would be in love with his wife no matter how little cared for him and bad she would treat him. Towards the end of the book Montag realized he would not miss her and can live on without her.
Overall, Montag was a dynamic character throughout the story. Ray Bradbury made Montag change a lot on how he described him and how he made him think. In the beginning of the book Montag would not really think much to himself and would just live life by going through the motions. As events occurred and passed Bradbury made Montags inner thoughts change. He made Montag see things differently. Montag became more self-reliant throughout the book especially at the end.
