In the begining, Montag is a lost soul, if you will; a person that's lost in the crowd. He has a dark mask over his heart and mind, and in their place he has a burnt in smile and empty thoughts.
A mysterious and impetuous girl meets are stolid Montag. This girl seems awry to him for most peoople don't talk or walk about and think. Clarisse becomes his light, his guide for his thoughts.
Clarisse and Montag become walking companions. Clarisse became the trigger for the chain reaction of everything that is to come in his life. Then she vanishes but the memories of her will forever live in his heart and mind.
Montag has been taking books for a year but without thinking he did it he blames his hand as if it's its own entity. He says his hands are poisoned showing Montag's change. This "poison" stared to go up his arms and through his body symbolizing the change from his mindless life to his life of knowledge and thought.
Montag does everything in his power to read, to memorize, to learn, and to think for himself.
He talks to Clarisse and it shows him how to think for himself but when he talks to Beaty again he almost started to slide back into his mindless trance. Beaty makes everything sound right even though it's wrong. Clarisse's thoughts came from her heart not just deceitful facts or lies. His inner struggle is hard but he is facing not just himself but Mildred, Beaty, and Faber, which makes the struggle even harder. He has to face his past to survive his future. He has to look past the technologies, the easy ways out, and path of mindlessness and find the path that is truth to him. He has to find the very thing that makes others fear change but he has to ready to face the entire country and to d what is necessary to stay on his path.
