The external factors which influence Guy Montag are the very ones he and the society of which he is a part are forbidden to utilize--literature, art, really anything which can bring about diversity and culture within the confines of the country's overarching tyrannical Dictatorship. Early in the novel, he is introduced to a variety of books which he is instructed to burn. He hesitates, however, and later begins reading texts he has never before encountered, one of which is The Bible. As he reads, he self-actualizes, and the truth of society's superficiality and controlled ignorance forces him to take matters into his own hands--a decision which ultimately results in both his being ostracized and, as revealed in the end, his salvation.

External factors in Fahrenheit 451 that influence Guy Montag include the oppressive government that controls society's thoughts, feelings, and actions, the shallow and technology-driven culture that promotes conformity and superficiality, and the relationships he forms with people who introduce him to new ideas and independent thinking, such as Clarisse and Faber.

Clarisse is one of montags personal influence. She is a very positive influence on him. Clarisse teaches montag to look around him, and see everything. He show montag that he is not in love with Mildred anymore. Another influence on Montag is Mildred. She is a negative influence on him. Mildred opens Montags eyes to the real world and shows him that most people are uncaring and self centered.
