How has Montag changed from the beginning of the novel to this part? In writing about this you might want to notice that the environment has changed from the city to nature. Is this a coincidence or is the author trying to say something by contrasting the city to nature in relation to the ways Montag has changed.
In the begining of the story Montag was just another part of society. He went to work as a fireman, he came home every night to his wife Mildred. He had the same routine everyday and was 'happy'. But then everything changed when he met Clarisse, she asked him questions about life and about the history of things that made Montag really think.This is when Montag stopped being just abother part of society, he questioned things. Montag BIGGGEST change was when he got toghther with Farber and they made the plan to get back at the government for getting rid of all the books. Montag started to look at thing differently and didnt just do was he was 'suppose' to do.
I defianatly think that Ray Bradbury is saying something;the old Montag and the New Montag.
In the city(old Montag), everything and everyone did was it was suppose to do. No one really stopped to think about the way things worked or how things got to be how they were. They just lived there lives like they were suppose to.
In the forrest(new Montag), Montag had to chance to stop and absorb the world around him. He could have his own thoughts with out getting in trouble or being afriad.
