When Beatty confronts him in front of his house, Montag resorts to violence and torches Beatty with the Flamethrower. Why is this solution, which would never be a first choice in life, viable in fiction? How does it serve the story? What do you think it will do for the plot-- what's next for Montag?
It's in the future, and it presents a sense of urgency and makes us feel like Montag was justified in his actions. It's a part of the rising action, and it's a direct factor in the Outcome of the story. It will force Montag to go into hiding, and he will continue to read and learn and become self aware to the point where he learns that he's just the Government's puppet.
Basically posts about this random kid in this random farming town in the middle of coastal California telling the whole world what's going on in his Third Period Class.
