What A Character

A character from a book that I've read that always popped out to me as a outstanding character who believed he should have the freedom to read and write what ever he feels like. In a society like his you have to be a brave soul to risk even taking a book because they are so illegal. He is the person who gets rid of these books because firefighters in their world burn books, they don't worry about house fires ever since every house was made fireproof. He see's all these authors words and doesn't see whats so bad about reading these words they wrote. He eventually steals books and realizes that without these deep meaningful works of literature it derives the society of emotions almost. In their world they don't really feel anything and are more about watching television and going out on fast drives when they're bored. Montag understands by reading the poem in his parlor to that group of women and seeing Mrs. Phelps reaction that words have a lot of meaning and can cause you to feel many emotions so firefighters were almost making the world dull. He fights for word and books and leaves to join a group that shows him even if books didn't exist they would still exist in our memory and this made me really like Guy Montag as a character.
