Farenheit 451-#4

-What is the climax of this novel? What happens? How do the events of this novel make you feel?

The climax of Fahrenheit 451 is when Guy Montag kills Captain Beatty and other firemen. When Beatty puts electronic hound after Montag, he realizes that Montag is hiding books. So, he somewhat enthusiastically watches Montag struggling to find the truth about the books. He instructs Montag to burn his own house down, giving him the message that books bring nothing but disasters.This is the point where indecisive Montag was forced to make choice between the plain and manipulated life and dangerous life. He chooses the dangerous life, and burns Captain Beatty and runs away. Even though the main antagonist died, I felt uneasy and angry with protagonist rather than feeling relieved. At this point, a question started to rise in my head: "is mean justified by the extreme?" Because I have believed that murder cannot be excused even if it was for the right reason this scene made me think about my value. I think human protection is the main point of every action. Of course, he had this important goal to save the knowledge for the world, was violence and blood necessary? I still believe that there were other options for Montag than killing the men. After all, saving the knowledge in books is for human.
