One of the four main characters that we have met so far in the book is Guy Montag. For his job he burns books so that people dont know about the past. I imagine that Montag is about 6 feet tall and is pretty thin. I believe that He is often covered in ash and soot because he spends most of his day at the firehouse. It says in the book that he has been doing his job for about ten years since he was 20 so that means that he should be about 30 years old. Montag i think is not that strong more averaged size because it doesnt say much about working out and he doesnt have to pick up alot of heavy stuff at his job. Montag is probably pretty hard working and is serious about his job but is begining to become more curious about what might be in the books. Without him there wouldnt be much of a story becasue he has been the center of everthing so far and i dont think that is going to change.
In the book Montag says "We cant do anything. We cant burn these. I want to look at them. At least Look at them once." In this quote Montag is talking to his wife Mildred after he showed her all of the books that he has collected over the years. Since we know that he has been working for about ten years we know that he is probable pretty dedicated to his job but he is still curious of what they might say even though his boss says there isnt anything good in the book and that he could go to jail for having them in his house. In the begining of the book Clarisse said "So many people are. Afraid of firemen, I mean. But your just a man, after all." This shows us that inthese days firemen werent looked up to like they are now but many people are afraid of them. There must be a gentleness in him that makes Clarisse feel safe around him. In general firemen are scary and mean and we can figure this out because she says that most people are afraid of firemen.
