4. What is the climax of this novel? What happens? How do the events of this novel make you feel?

The climax of the story for Fahrenheit 451 was when Guy Montag started to read the book that he kept to his wife and his wife's friend. From that point on I could feel the dramatic change in the story. That was the point when Guy Montag would have to face some problems and obstacles in order to achieve his goal. Which was to make books 'famous' again. This part also foreshadows the leaving of Mildred (Guy Montag's wife). Most of the time in books or novels, the climax is when the story takes a dramatic turn and many things go wrong for the main character. Later Mildred takes the car and leaves Montag just because he wants to read books. The firefighter friends of Montag are even thinking suspicially of Montag. At this point Montag has to choose whether he is going to carry on with trying to revive the importance of books, or just chicken out and burn all of the books all over again. In my opinion i think that Montag is very brave because if books were practically banned from the world and you would get burned if you were caught with any, i would just burn everything but Montag was different. Montag saw a little light in the books and realized that with these books new knowledge could be found and he knew that without books history would never have been revealed and education would've taken such a different course.
