* what is the climax of this novel? what happens? how do the events of this novel make you feel?
I believe this novel Fahrenheit 451 has a certain climax like how other novels have. In this book the climax is the part when Montag's wife Mildred betrays him and tell the fire station that he has books and reads it, and the alarm sounds. Then Mildred runs away from the house and the Captain Beatty was forcing Mildred to burn his house by himself which fireman should do when other people get caught by reading books. This event, climax of this book Fahrenheit 451 made me feel awkward, and angry because Guy Montag's wife betrayed him. Betraying husband/wife is just unacceptable to me and I was actually surprised by how Mildred betrayed his wife Guy Montag. Also, as a christian I was surprised again with the Montag's action. If I were Guy Montag I would burn my house for what I have done , instead of killing his captain Beatty. It made me so unacceptable because I think Montag has no responsibility. He burnt other people's house by catching them but when he got caught by his captain Beatty, he just killed his captain and ran away. He should be more responsible for his work and his job. Those two events made me very awkward and angry at the same time.
