Compare and contrast conformity and inidivituallity as presented in Fahrenheit 451.
Montag in the beggining of the book was very in love with his wife. Well he thought he was. "I am very much in love" pg 22 towards the end of the book he realizes he wasnt very in love with his wife anymore. This shows that Montag was dependent on being in love in the beggining and in the end he changes. I think its because he opened his eyes and thought wow im not in love anymore i never was.Montag also was also all for the government in the beginning and agreeing with everything.He followed the five rules. Answer the alarm swiftly, start the fire swiftly, burn everything, report back to firehouse immediately and stand alert for other alarms.(pg35). He never read any books and when beatty asked him " do you have some" he automatically said no. towards the end montage started to rebel against the government and started to read. He first read the bible. He read a dozen pages here and there"(pg68) He tried to memorize as much as he could in the time he had. Montag in the end burns down his house and leaves the place where he lived because he didn't like the corruption. in the end he met four professors who told him everything they knew about the books they have once read and taught. "we are book burners too". He finally met someone like him. During the book montag has changed alot from what he used to always follow.
