Faber sees himself as a knowledgeable and wise mentor who can guide Montag in his journey towards enlightenment and rebellion against the oppressive society. He sees Montag as a young and impressionable individual who has the potential to challenge the status quo and bring about change.
Montag did not want to be recognized. He poured whiskey on himself to hide his scent and used Faber's clothes to disguise himself.
Faber gives Montag a small earpiece that allows them to communicate without being detected. Faber gives Montag this device so that he can guide him and help him navigate the dangerous environment in which he finds himself.
Montag wanted to find him cause Faber also read books and wanted help figuring out what they were about.
Montag carried a radio-transmitter device to communicate with Faber on the subway. It allowed them to discuss their plan to overthrow the oppressive government that banned books.
Montag goes to see Faber in "Fahrenheit 451" because he is seeking guidance and wisdom about books and knowledge. Faber is a retired English professor who shares Montag's belief in the importance of preserving literature and critical thinking. Montag hopes to learn how to understand and interpret the books he has encountered, as well as how to navigate the oppressive society in which they live.
Faber gave Montag his name and phone number because he saw potential in Montag to change and rebel against the oppressive society they lived in. Faber wanted to help Montag, as he believed Montag could be a powerful force for good by spreading knowledge and ideas against censorship and conformity.
Faber calls himself guilty on page 82 of "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. In this scene, Faber admits to Montag that he feels responsible for the state of society and for not doing more to stop the censorship and destruction of books.
Faber thinks that Montag is trying to frame or trap him so he hangs up when Montag first calls. In the first phone call Montag asks Faber how many copies of Shakespeare, Plato, or Bibles are left in the country.
Because if Montag read poetry in front of the ladies in the parlor, they might report him to the firehouse, and Montag and Faber's plan would be ruined.
Montag thought Faber was reciting a poem by Matthew Arnold called "Dover Beach."
Faber is critical of himself and the world because he sees the destruction caused by censorship and lack of critical thinking. Despite his pessimism, he is willing to become Montag's mentor because he sees an opportunity to change the status quo and make a positive impact by helping someone else see the value of books and independent thinking.
You can find this stuff in the part of the book where Montag goes over to Faber's house for the first time. What Montag does that horrifies Faber is to start ripping up the Bible. Faber is horrified because that is, as far as he knows, the only copy of the Bible around and he doesn't want it destroyed. The last refuge for a dangerous intellectual is the stock market. That is how Faber has gotten himself some money even though he has no job. He has played the stock market and gotten enough money to use to invent the "bullet" that he gives Montag.
