The exposition, or introduction of setting, characters, and information needed to get the story off the ground, starts with the very first words, "It was a pleasure to burn." We are quickly introduced to the story's theme of burning. We are also quickly introduced to Guy Montag, the protagonist of the story. With the description then of the transporation modes, we soon are aware that the story's setting is the future. After that the conversation between Montag and Clarisse gives us much information about this futuristic society and the way people are. The conflict is suggested when Clarisse asks Montag, "Are you happy?" The exposition continues with Montag's arrival home and finding his wife nearly dead from a drug overdose. Montag's reaction to this and his pondering over the great number of people there are in his world and the fact that no one cares much about anyone else further establishes the main conflict.
