Second Post.
Now, the main characters of Fahrenheit 451 are Guy Montag, Clarrise, Faber, and Captain Beatty. Now Montag was the fireman who never thought about destruction and the world. He just burned every single book he found out about. But, as he burned a house and was walking home, he met a girl. As the girl came up to him, and started talking to him, he started to think. He began to notice the things happening in the world. I think that she was the one who influenced Montag the most in the entire book. As the story goes on, it seemed as Beatty has read a lot of books, against the law. And he was the chief fireman. But he, unlike Montag considered them bad. He seemed to like the current law, give people no sides to think about, let them just live on. He was killed by Montag, he was 'needling' him, but at that, Montag thought that he wanted to die. But I feel that it just wasn't it. I think that was the way that he could have tried to protect himself. There could have been ways to feel about Beatty's actions. But thats how I feel about it. But without Faber, another character, Montag would have been running around, shouting out poetry or verses in books, thus being killed. I think that Faber is a really important character too. So that is what I think of the main characters.
