Category 1: How Montag changes throughout the book?
From the start of the book to the end of it, our protagonist, Montag, went through life changing experiences. In the start of the book we are introduced to Montag, a fireman who burns things down. Montag rather enjoyed his job of burning books until he meets his neighbor, Clarissa. Clarissa found burning dumb and enjoyed nature. This evoked thoughts of what is really important and Montag was drawn to how different Clarissa was.
Montag's life starts to change even more when he is sent to burn a women's house, only to steal one of her books. In secrecy, Montag begins to collect books, realizing the value they provide. The guilt of the lady's death nags at Montag so he decides to meet up with another guy who changes his life. Professor Faber and Montag discuss matters of books and real problems such as how society really is! This is proven when Montag tries to recite a bible verse only to be interrupted from a prosaic commercial in the subway. We can infer that Montag has found "the light" because others in this society are oblivious to the ignorant repetition of the commercial.
We know that Montag changes by the end of the book because of the things he was able to do. Most people cant live with themselves after they commit a murder unless you feel it just to do so. This can be said about Montag as he was able to murder his boss, Beatty, and remained focused enough to make an escape. From this evidence we have observed how Montag is considered a dynamic character.
