Group Three

1. What do you think caused Mildred to bring about the destruction of her own house by reporting that her husband had hidden books?
2. Why does Beatty want Montag to wield the flame thrower to destroy his own house and why does Montag acquiesce?
3. Almost without knowing it, Montag’s hands switch off the safety on the flame thrower aimed at Beatty. What does this show about Montag’s state of awareness or consciousness?
4. Why do you think Beatty mockingly tells Montag to “pull the trigger” (p. 113) on the flame thrower Montag has aimed at him?
5. Is Montag justified in killing Beatty? Why or why not?
