What is the climax of this novel? What happens? How do the events of this novel make you feel?
The climax of the novel is when the firemen including Montag stops in front of Montags house and Captain Beatty orders him to burn his own house alone by a 'flame thrower' instead of kerosene and a match. After Montag has finishes burning his own house, Montag kills Beatty and realises that Beatty had wanted to die, and he had just stood there, not really trying to save himself, just stood there, joking, needling. Montag thought how strange to want to die so much that you let a man walk around armed and then instead of shutting up and staying alive, you go on yelling at people and making fun of them. While he thinks, Montag runs to Faber's house (a friend) while feeling his life at stake. Montag nearly dies. The 'Beetle' driven by a careful of children all ages nearly kills him, but unsuspectingly saves himself by falling down and would have surely been killed if he was standing upright the moment the 'beetle passed.
When he reaches Faber's house, he tells everything that has occurred and he gets ready to run away from the city. Faber and Montag's ways part and they hope to see each other soon. Montag runs to the river, and tries to erase his scent, and other proofs that he was there. Having reached the river just in time, Montag is safe from the mechanical hound that is claimed to have never failed in these kinds of circumstances. Montag is now officially 'dead' according to the government files.
All this last minute action towards the end of the book and the climax has left me as an excited reader and eager to learn what happens next when Montag joins the other people similar to people by the river. I think, the way how this novel ended was fantastic and I especially enjoyed how the author described the scenes lively with different metaphors and similes.
