Beatty's beliefs are ambiguous in the novel "Fahrenheit 451." While he may express some of the ideas he speaks about, it is also likely that he uses them as a way to manipulate and control Montag. Beatty is a complex character whose true beliefs are not fully revealed in the story.
What else can I help you with?
Why did beatty want to die?
He's not necessarily happy at all. He just realized that Beatty wanted to die, and granted what he wanted. I think it made Montag more sad than anything, because Montag was doing what Beatty couldn't ( rebelling against society )
In Fahrenheit 451 why would Beatty make montag burn his own house?
Because Capt. Beatty purposely enticed him to do so by taking away his "green bullet" earphone and threating to track down who was on the other line and then began to taunt Montag until Guy, in a split decision, turned the flamethrower against Capt. Beatty and then knocked out the two other firemen as the hound pounced onto him partially injecting morphine into his knee as Montag incinerates the mechanical hound
What dos beatty say about clarisse?
Beatty describes Clarisse as unconventional, rebellious, and dangerous because she questions society's norms and makes Montag think about his life choices. He believes her influence is negative and seeks to eliminate her presence from Montag's life.
What page does montag kill beatty?
Oh, it sounds like you're talking about "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. In the book, Montag kills Beatty on page 119. Remember, every page in a book holds a piece of a story waiting to be discovered, just like every brushstroke adds to a beautiful painting.
Why hasn't Captain Beatty been punshed and why does he view the books he's read with such contempt?
Captain Beatty has not been punished because he is the captain responsible for keeping the other firemen on their feet so they won't question. Throughout the book he quotes lines from famous books and then tells the men that it's useless. He does this to show his authority and so that the men look up to him without question. Beatty tells the firemen that books are depressing which is why they must burn them to keep society "happy". When one of them does question, Beatty goes to Montag's house and goes on and on about why books should be burned, again showing his authority and intelligence so that Montag accepts his views towards books. Beatty must know books to explain their "unimportance" and "wickedness" to the men. If it weren't for him, the men would go off and read books and the society would be "chaotic". We don't want that now, do we? We aren't sure, but Beatty may not be so contemt with the books. It could be his job that causes him to speak about books that way. It is argued that his death was suicide when he kept urging Montag to kill him by saying, "You won't really do it. Put the gun down," or something along those lines. Perhaps he was as unhappy as Montag and he was sick and tired of the whole thing. Perhaps he knew Montag had the courage to kill him, and that was really what he wanted rather than living the rest of his life unhappy and criticizing books.
