How Did Montag Change In Fahrenheit 451

1)Montag: The Montag we meet at the beginning of the story is a completely different Montag in the end. At the beginning he is dedicated to his job as a fireman, but that soon changes once he meets Clarisse. His faith in society and his job all starts to go downhill. Montag actually enjoys his destructive work and it even amuses him by watching the suffering he inflicts upon others but he is hungry for knowledge. Instead of burning all of the books from the “criminals” houses, he actually ends up stealing some and hiding them in his own house.
Throughout the story Montag feels confused, overwhelmed, frustrated, guilty and uncertain. All of those feelings makes me feel like he has suppressed those feelings for a long time and they didn’t

It tells us she isn’t brainwashed and her feelings are consistent throughout the time we have with her. She is a static and a round character. She’s different from anyone we meet and she has the attitude and point of view everyone needs. I would say she is at the bottom of the social ladder. Being different isn’t always a good thing. She is attuned to the evil in others and seems to be somewhere in between pessimistic and optimistic and is a realistic character. She’s highly aware of her own needs and others and easily sees right through the so called “norm”. She seems to have control over her emotions but not so much of what she says. It seems like she says whatever comes to mind when asking questions, but when answering she takes time to
