Fahrenheit 451 #8

Comments:

  • While they are at work, they are called for duty, and the house they are going to put flames out is, Montag's own home.
  • He is terrified by this because of the books he has hidden.
  • Now it seems to make more sense as to why the Machine was trying to attack Montag so very often.
  • Montag's wife and a neighbor reported him for taking all the books.
  • Montag figured the only way to escape from his troubles is to kill Beatty, and so he did, burning him to death.
Questions:
  • Why did his wife reveal his secret?
  • How did his house catch on fire?
  • How did Beatty figure that Montag actually did take the books?
  • Where did his wife disappear to now?
