Subsequently, the introduction of Montag, the burning of books and the conversation with Clarisse helps Bradbury to create his virtual reality setting and a theme of censorship that the government controls. Bradbury builds up the rising action with three meaningful events. Firstly, because of Montag’s intellectual conversations with Clarisse and hunger for knowledge, the Mechanical Hound is now picking up on the particular human scent of a criminal from Montag. However, Montag is just starting to change and think for himself, which is why the Hound has yet tried to capture him like it’s programmed to do on criminals. Secondly, Bradbury uses the symbolic old lady, who burned with her books, as a martyr. The old lady is considered a martyr because she is dying for what she believes is right. Montag used feel honorable and pleased while burning books, but burning the old lady and her books made him feel unpleasant. Bradbury illustrates this scene to symbolize the start of Montag’s revolution. Lastly, Bradbury is using Faber to help Montag plot against the system by eliminating all firemen and firehouses. Bradbury builds his rising action by creating these three scenes to turn Montag into a revolutionist. Bradbury’s climax and falling action consist of multiple important events which consist of a rebirth, courage, and salvation. During the climax, Millie, Montag’s wife, reported Montag to the authorities and he was force to burn his books and house down. However, Montag found pleasure in burning his house and possessions. Bradbury’s climax of Montag’s wife betrayal and the burning of his house symbolized a rebirth of Montag. Montag can start a new life and become a new person because the evidence of his past did not exist anymore. Because Bradbury had made Montag into a revolutionist, Montag had to prove his dedication by defeating the Mechanical Hound. The fight between Montag and the Mechanical Hound represents nonconformist defeating the controlling
