The character that I will be talking about is Montag he is a firefighter in a futuristic society that burns books instead of putting out fire. he has a normal life at the beginning of the book then he starts keeping books which is illegal and he is torn between being a firefighter and reading books instead. The fire chief wants him to turn in the books and he says "Books so snobbish critics said were dishwater no wonder books stopped selling" (page 61 by captain Beatty). He is torn between continuing to be a firefighter or not he said "It's only a step from not going to work today not going to work tomorrow, not going to the firehouse ever again" (67-68). This quote show how he is not sure about weather to continue as a firefighter.
Montag is no sure about the society that he is living in because he is torn between reading and keeping books and continuing being a firefighter and fallowing all the rules of the society that he lives in. I think that he is not satisfied with the relationships in his life because his wife almost overdosing on sleeping pills and disapproving of him reading books. Another reason that I think hes is unhappy is because Clarrisse who probably agree with him reading books because she was out of the ordinary like walking outside enjoying nature having deep conversations with people ect. things that aren't normal in their society has gotten hit by a car and died.
