It is unclear who was solely responsible for reporting Montag to the firemen. It is possible it was his wife or any of the women who he read the poem to that night in the parlor.
Montag was reported to the firemen by his wife, Mildred's friends.
Mildred.
Montag hid them because it is illegal to have books and if you are found with ooks or reported by someone else to the firemen that you have books, the firemen will come and burn the books and usually the house too. The person that owns the books would then be put in jail. Montag did not want any of this to happen to him, but he kept the books because he was curious about them.
The firemen are called to Montag's house because there are books there.
Faber and Montag set up the firemen by planting books in Montag's house and reporting it to the authorities in order to expose the corruption within the system and spark a revolution against censorship and oppression. They wanted to challenge the status quo and restore freedom of thought and expression.
Montag realizes that his fellow firemen are also unhappy and unfulfilled in their lives, despite the facade of conformity they project. They are all searching for meaning and purpose in a society that suppresses individuality and critical thinking.
Since they are in the future and that firemen in that time are sent to destroy any piece of literature, books, documents, etc. of the past believe it or not all she tells them is: That firemen use to put out fires and not start them. (in a basic summary.) dont you just love the irony of it?!?
10 years. since he was 20.
Captain Beatty turned Montag into a fireman. He recruited Montag and influenced him to embrace the ideology of burning books and suppressing knowledge.
Montag is different from other firemen because he begins to question the society he lives in and the role of firemen in burning books. He starts to rebel against the oppressive government and seeks to discover the truth and meaning in his life, ultimately leading him to defy the status quo and pursue knowledge and freedom.
In part 3, Montag tells Faber to come out of hiding and help him fight against the oppressive society that suppresses free thought and expression. He asks Faber to guide him on his mission to challenge the status quo and bring about change.
Clarisse is not disturbed or afraid like everyone else is of firemen.
She tells on Montag for having books in the house. ____________________________ Actually, Mildred didn't tell on Montag. There were two reasons why Montag was caught. The first is that the women that were over that night told the firemen that he had the books, and the second is that the mechanical hound found the books that Montag had hidden in his backyard for safe keeping. Mildred didn't tell anyone, but did leave when the fire truck came.
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.
