Group Three

1. In thinking about Clarisse’s friendship and her death, Montag goes “…trembling along the hall to the kitchen” (p. 68). Why has his brief interaction with her made such an impact on him?
2. How does Montag answer Mildred when she asks why she should read? What does their exchange indicate about the differences between them?
3. Although Montag’s country has won “two atomic wars since 2022” (p. 69), the threat of another war grows stronger. What reason does Montag give for the country being hated so much? How might books help Montag’s countrymen relate to peoples of other countries?
4. When Montag visits Faber, Faber calls himself a coward. Why? In what way has he acted cowardly?
