When Faber is first introduced in this novel, he is so critical of himself because he feels guilty for not speaking up when their society began to be corrupt. He says he felt he had opportunities to stand up, but didn't. At first, he is not willing to be Montag's mentor and refuses to help him. Montag was so set on getting Faber, he starts ripping the bible. Faber is distraught, and so agrees.
Clarisse talks to Montag about a dandelion. She shows Montag how to rub the flower under his chin to see if he is in love. This conversation sparks Montag's curiosity and begins his journey to question the society in which he lives.
Faber considers himself a coward because he is sending Montag off to frame Captain Beatty, while he sits safe at home, telling Montag what to say/do through the "seashell" type radio in his ear. "If the drone (Montag) dies, I'm still safe at home, tending my fright with maximum comfort and a minimum of chance. See how safe I play it, how contemptible I am?" (p. 91)
Montag continues to see Clarisse in the early part of the book, establishing their connection and the influence she has on him. Her presence represents a stark contrast to the society's norms and sparks a desire for change within Montag. Through their interactions, Montag begins to question his beliefs and the world around him.
The external factors which influence Guy Montag are the very ones he and the society of which he is a part are forbidden to utilize--literature, art, really anything which can bring about diversity and culture within the confines of the country's overarching tyrannical dictatorship. Early in the novel, he is introduced to a variety of books which he is instructed to burn. He hesitates, however, and later begins reading texts he has never before encountered, one of which is The Bible. As he reads, he self-actualizes, and the truth of society's superficiality and controlled ignorance forces him to take matters into his own hands--a decision which ultimately results in both his being ostracized and, as revealed in the end, his salvation.
As readers see it in "Fahrenheit 451," Montag's dilemma revolves around his inner conflict with the oppressive society that burns books and suppresses free thought. However, Montag's own perspective evolves from initially accepting the status quo to ultimately rebelling against it as he starts questioning the purpose and value of his existence and relationships in the world of censorship.
