What is the climax of this novel? What happens? How do the events of this novel make you feel?
The climax of the novel is when Montag kills Beatty while the fire fighters are called to Montag’s house. This happens because Beatty files a report on Mildred and tries to burn Montag’s house down. Then Montag kills his fellow fireman when they are inside and Montag kills Beatty. Also, when Montag kills Beatty he is happy to be killed and actually tells Montag to kill him. Before, Beatty actually calls on the alarm and he tells Montag that he has collection of books in his house. Beatty thinks that these books are what made humans unhappy and chaotic. After Beatty is killed Montag starts running away from the police, the hound, and the helicopters. So, he goes to the river and meets many other book lovers. I think that the events of this novel made me feel that what if there were no books in this world. Also, it made regret the times I’ve watched TV and just surfing the internet when I could have read so many good books. Furthermore, the events in this novel made me what kind of world our universe would be if everyone was brainwashed into thinking that books were the core of evil. Then it reminded me that we are already experiencing this with our technologically advanced media continuing to attract mass number of audiences. Therefore, I feel that even though most people don’t feel it we are turning into a society like Montag’s.
