Main Events of
Fahrenheit 451
¨ Beatty tells Montag to take twenty-four hours or so to see if his stolen books contain anything worthwhile and then turn them in for incineration. Montag begins a long night of reading. __________
¨
Montag encounters a gentle seventeen-year-old girl named Clarisse
McClellan, who opens his eyes to the emptiness of his life with her questions
and her unusual love of people and nature. __________
¨
Over the next few days, Montag experiences a series of
disturbing events. First, his wife, Mildred, attempts suicide by swallowing a
bottle of sleeping pills. Then, when he responds to an alarm that an old woman
has a stash of hidden literature, the woman shocks him by choosing to be burned
alive along with her books. A few days later, he hears that Clarisse has been killed
by a speeding car. __________
¨
Guy Montag is a fireman who burns books in a futuristic
American city. In Montag’s world, firemen start fires rather than putting them
out. The people in this society do not read books, enjoy nature, spend time by
themselves, think independently, or have meaningful conversations. Instead,
they drive very fast, watch excessive amounts of television, and listen to the
radio on attached to their ears. __________
¨
Montag goes to Faber’s house, where he learns that a new
Hound has been put on his trail, along with several helicopters and a
television crew. The whole city watches as the chase unfolds on TV, but Montag
manages to escape in the river. __________
¨
Montag’s dissatisfaction with his life increases, and he
begins to search for a solution in a stash of books that he has stolen from his
own fires and hidden inside an air-conditioning vent. __________
¨
Overwhelmed by the task of reading, he remembers that he
once met an English professor named Faber sitting in a park, and he decides
that this man might be able to help him understand what he reads. __________
¨
Montag goes to the fire station and hands over one of his
books to Beatty. Suddenly, the alarm sounds, and they rush off to answer the
call, only to find that the alarm is at Montag’s own house. Mildred gets into a
cab with her suitcase, and Montag realizes that his own wife has betrayed him. __________
¨
Beatty forces Montag to burn the house himself; when he is
done, Beatty places him under arrest. Montag turns the flamethrower on Beatty
and burns him to ashes. __________
¨
When Montag fails to show up for work, his fire chief,
Beatty, pays a visit to his house. Beatty explains that it’s normal for a
fireman to go through a phase of wondering what books have to offer, and he
delivers a dizzying monologue explaining how books came to be banned in the
first place. __________
¨
Montag runs. The Mechanical Hound, a machine that Beatty
has set to attack Montag, pounces and Montag manages to destroy it with his
flamethrower. __________
¨
Enemy jets appear in the sky and completely obliterate the
city with bombs. Montag and his new friends move on to search for survivors and
rebuild civilization. __________
¨
He drifts downstream into the country and follows a set of
railroad tracks until he finds a group of intellectuals (“the Book People”), who
welcome him. They are a part of a network of book lovers who have memorized
many great works. They hope that they may be of some help to mankind in the
aftermath of the war that has just been declared. __________
¨
Faber agrees to help Montag with his reading, and they
concoct a risky scheme to overthrow the status quo. Faber will contact a
printer and begin reproducing books, and Montag will plant books in the homes
of firemen to discredit the profession.
