10 E Character Analysis Jp

Character Analysis: Guy Montag Montag is the protagonist of the book, ironically named after a paper manufacturing company. He is a fireman, and in the beginning of the book loves his job more than anything. The beautiful feeling he describes of the night runs is the essence of his life; however after confronting Clarisse he is very confused and starts doubting this job, which at one point would have seemed impossible. The horrible confusion of books and their complexity forces Montag acting in a way he would never act. Almost as if his hands were working by themselves and out of his control. Within his conscious he is battling to find the true meaning of his life and understand the complexity of books. In his attempts to try and grasp what is going on, he goes through sensitive moments of conversation with Clarisse, and almost deranged moments when committing the murder of Captain Beatty. Character Analysis: Professor Faber In the fight to control Montag, Faber is the second battling after Captain Beatty. However unlike the Captain, Faber does not have as strong or genuine control over Montag. He is a cowardly man, who uses Montag to do the things that he cannot. He manipulates Montag through his two-way radio controlling Montag’s body as if he were a machine. Faber is an operator of sorts of Montag’s body, when Montag’s mind isn’t strong enough to understand anything and gets swayed, Faber can make him do all sorts of stuff. His role in the book is very complex to understand, sometimes he wants Montag to think on his own, and however there are times when he takes Montag’s body completely over. Ironically after all the abuse Montag takes from his two controllers, neither one of them are able to convincingly stake their beliefs inside him.
