Beatty is a round character - a character which has 'varying degrees of depth and complexity and therefore cannot be summed up in a single phrase'. Note his vast knowledge of literature and how and where he references specific artists. He uses his strength as his weakness and this ultimately kills him. Call me a fanatic but I can't help but like Beatty, and actually pity him more than Montag. How sad it is to be fooled into a life where your passion becomes your source of destruction.
