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 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 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 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 wants Faber to teach him because he realizes he is lacking knowledge and understanding about books and their importance in society. He seeks Faber's wisdom to help him make sense of the world and challenge the oppressive society he lives in. Faber represents the opportunity for Montag to gain insight and intelligence to fight against the censorship imposed by the government.
Montag wanted Faber to turn on the air conditioning and sprinklers to prevent the Mechanical Hound from tracking him by his scent. Montag was on the run and needed to throw off the hound's ability to pick up his trail.
