In Ray Bradbury's novel "Fahrenheit 451," Montag surprises Beatty and the other firemen by asking why books are banned, why people are not allowed to think for themselves, and why they burn instead of preserve knowledge. Montag's questions suggest he is starting to challenge the society's norms and seek deeper meaning in books.
Beatty taunted Montag about his growing curiosity and defiance towards the rules. He provoked Montag to burn his own house by quoting books, knowing that Montag was hiding illegal books, resulting in Montag turning the flame-thrower on Beatty.
Captain Beatty turned Montag into a fireman. He recruited Montag and influenced him to embrace the ideology of burning books and suppressing knowledge.
In Ray Bradbury's novel "Fahrenheit 451," the Mechanical Hound led by Captain Beatty and some other firemen, including one named Stoneman, are responsible for torching Montag's house. Beatty confronts Montag and ultimately orders the house to be burned down.
Montag kills Beatty out of self-defense. Beatty represents the oppressive society that Montag is rebelling against, and Beatty threatens Montag's life, leaving Montag with no choice but to defend himself.
Montag asks Captain Beatty if firemen used to put out fires instead of start them, which prompts Beatty to explain the history of the firemen's role in society. This interaction highlights Montag's growing curiosity and inner conflict about the purpose of their society, setting the stage for his eventual transformation and rebellion against the oppressive system. It symbolizes the beginning of Montag's awakening and his realization that he must challenge the status quo.

Captain Beatty told Montag that firemen had always been responsible for burning books, even before the current society was established. This lie was used to manipulate Montag into believing that their society had always been built on censorship and book burning.
Montag realized that Beatty wanted to die and provoked Montag to kill him. He knew this when Beatty goaded him and knew all the details about the hidden earpiece that Faber had given Montag.
