I'm on page 88 right now and the more that I have read the more that I have noticed characteristic changes from Montag. In the beginning of the book it seemed like he was just a normal firefighter but had slight issues with his wife's suicide attempts and didn't think twice about the society that he lives in. Montag changes when he meets Clarisse and starts to wonder if there really is something wrong in the society that he lives in. On page 37 Montag says, “I’ve tried to imagine," said Montag, "Just how it would feel. I mean, to have firemen burn our houses and our books." This quote explains how Montag is trying to connect with everyone else and starts to rethink if it's right or not to be burning houses and books, and why they are.
Another example which shows how Montag is changing as a person is on page 41 when it says, "Now it plunged the book back under his arm, pressed it tight to sweating armpit, rushed out empty, with a magician's flourish! Look here! Innocent! Look!" This quote from the book explains how Montag is wondering what the government is keeping away from the society, and why they have to burn those books. And finally the last example which shows how Montag has changed as a person is on page 50 - 51 when Montag brings up Clarisse and wonders if she knows what happened to her or if she's seen her. "I've meant to talk to you about her. Strange." "Oh, I know the one you mean." "Her," said Mildred in the dark room. "What about her?" asked Montag? "I meant to tell you. Forgot. Forgot." "Tell me now. What is it?" "I think she's gone." "Gone?" This quote explains how Montag is very curious about Clarisse and what happened.
