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.
